There is rarely room in a yard around here to fell a tree the way it is done in open country. Between the house, the fence, the shed and the power drop, most trees that need to come out have nowhere to fall. So they do not get felled. They come apart from the top down, one rigged piece at a time, onto ground cleared for them before anyone touched a saw.

That is the work C.K. Tree Service is set up for. Curtis looks at the tree and talks through what it needs, the crew runs the ropes and the ground, and the material goes out on the trailer. One of the photos here is a removal beside a metal building with no room either side, which is the average job rather than the exception.

The method

How a sectional removal goes

  1. 01

    Walk the yard before anything runs

    We work out where each piece can land, what has to be protected, and where the brush and the wood get stacked. A gate panel comes off if it has to. Beds and sprinkler heads get covered. Ten minutes here keeps an afternoon of repairs off the end of the job.

  2. 02

    Limbs first, on rope

    A climber ties in and works the tree from the top down. Anything hanging over the roof, the fence or the neighbor is rigged and lowered rather than dropped. Only pieces with clear ground under them get cut free.

  3. 03

    Then the trunk, in blocks

    With the canopy off, the trunk comes down in sections short enough to control, each one lowered on the line or rolled into the drop zone. Nothing is cut until the piece under it has been moved.

  4. 04

    Brush, wood and rake out

    The brush leaves on the trailer, the trunk wood is cut down and hauled, and the ground gets raked before we pull off.

Felling a tree whole wants as much clear ground as the tree is tall. A sixty foot tree wants sixty feet of nothing in front of it, and very few yards have it.

“Great service with each job Curtis and team have done for us. The latest was a big unexpected one after a large tree split. They worked us in quickly, pushing through rain and taking care of all the details, including cleanup.”Camille Cotter, Google review

When a tree has to come out

Not every ugly tree is dead, and not every dead tree is urgent. These are the ones worth a call:

  • A trunk that has split, or a fork that is slowly opening up
  • A new lean, or soil lifting and cracking on one side of the base
  • A large cavity, or soft punky wood you can push a screwdriver into
  • Shelf fungus growing on the trunk or out of the root flare
  • No leaves at all on one whole side of the tree through the summer
  • A dead tree standing inside falling distance of the house, a shop or the drive

A tree that fails on a calm afternoon is an inconvenience. The same tree failing in wind lands across whatever is under it, and takes the fence and the gutter with it.

If you are not sure, call and describe it. Looking costs nothing, and a fair share of the trees we get called out to see do not need to come out at all.

What is left when we go

A removal is finished when the yard is clean, not when the tree is down. Brush out, trunk wood cut and loaded, the drive swept, and no ruts across the lawn because the trailer parked where we said it would.

One customer wrote that the crew pushed through rain to finish and took care of all the details, cleanup included.

The stump stays your call

The stump is a separate decision. We can cut it low and leave it, or grind it out while the machine is already on site, which is the cheaper way round if you know you want it gone.

Tell us what the ground is for and we will say how deep the grind has to run.

Storm damage does not wait for an appointment

A split trunk, a limb hung up in the canopy, or a tree already leaning on the house is not something to sit on. Hung up wood shifts on its own, and it picks the moment.

One customer had a large tree split unexpectedly and wrote that we worked them in quickly and pushed through the rain to finish it. Call (316) 708-7344.

QUESTIONS

Tree Removal questions

How do you get a big tree out of a tight yard?

In sections, from the top down. Every limb over something that matters is rigged and lowered on rope rather than dropped. Once the canopy is off, the trunk comes down in blocks short enough to control.

Do I need to be home while you work?

No. Plenty of removals happen while people are at work. We will walk the yard with you first if you want, and let you know when it is done. If the only way in is a locked gate, we need that sorted first.

What happens to the brush and the trunk wood?

It leaves with us on the trailer. The brush goes on first and the trunk is cut into pieces we can load. If you want any of the wood left behind, ask while we are looking at the tree.

Is grinding the stump included in a removal?

No, it is priced on its own, because not everybody wants it done. It costs less while the equipment is already there than as a separate trip later, so decide before we start.
