A couple videos of how using the mini excavator really made this project safe and effective.

The last two photos are the finished product.

Everyone involved in this project did an incredible job. There was an obvious concern that more damage would potentially happen during the removal process but we were able to do the entire project without any additional damage to the house or deck. We’re incredibly proud of everyone involved. All told 6 days total of work and multiple crews involved.

Thank you to Franklin, Naun, Dan, Steve Jr., Steve Sr., Luke, Rene, Carlos, Marty, Adolfo, and Juan.

The first photo is our access road we laid using grindings material as this side of the house was stepped retaining walls.

We utilized concrete blocks and 14x14 timber crane mats to crib up to the trunk before we started the process of removing the tree from the pressure points on the house.

We ended up cribbing up about 18 feet in the end to get to the trunk. We then placed two 40 tons jacks under the log and slowly began to apply pressure.

We were able to lift the two of the three limbs off the house about 2 inches before we started removing the limb wood. The center lead or limb had the most pressure on it.

We utilized our mini excavator with its rotating grapple in order to grab some of the bigger pieces of wood to limit any unwanted movement.
