When a tree outgrows its space and starts encroaching on buildings and other plantlife, standard tree trimming may not be enough. Neither is simply cutting the trunk and letting the tree fall.
No one knows this better than Kari’s Tree Service, which is why a Live Oak, Florida homeowner called them for a complex tree removal job. A massive oak tree was situated close to a shed and a heavily wooded area, and the homeowner was worried that the next storm would mean an emergency tree service call and expensive storm damage cleanup.
Thanks to Kari’s Tree Service, this fear won’t become reality.

Hazardous Tree Removal in Live Oak, FL, Section by Section and Branch by Branch
The oak in question was tall with branches that extended toward the shed’s roofline. The surrounding wooded area limited where debris could safely fall, so the crew determined that the best approach to this tree removal would be to cut the tree into sections. Instead of attempting to manage the entire bulk of the tree at once, controlled dismantling with rigging allowed the removal to progress without damaging the surroundings.
Over the course of six hours, the team carefully cut and lowered limbs and trunk pieces until there was nothing but a stump left behind. After stump grinding, they cleared the remaining logs and brush, leaving the homeowner with a tidy yard.
