- Specific Challenges: Clients contacted Mercer Tree Service to safely remove and trim a large mature oak tree located close to the backyard fence line and surrounding landscaping during the winter season. Due to the tree’s height and the heavy overhanging limbs, the crew used professional climbing gear and controlled rigging techniques to carefully lower branches without causing damage to the property or nearby structures. This project involved expert tree removal and pruning services to improve the safety and appearance of the backyard area.

Planning How To Remove the Heavy Limbs and Protect the Nearby Fence
When the Mercer Tree Service crew arrived, they carefully inspected the large oak tree and identified several oversized limbs extending above the fence line and the backyard landscaping. Because of the upcoming storm season, the homeowner wanted the tree removed before the heavy limbs created additional risks near the backyard in severe weather.
The massive oak tree overhung the fence, so the crew had to plan each cut carefully to avoid losing control of heavy limbs and damaging the fence or nearby structures.
Using Professional Rigging Equipment To Safely Remove the Large Oak Tree
Mercer Tree Service started the project by removing smaller upper limbs before cutting into the heavier overextended sections throughout the canopy. The crew used professional rigging equipment to lower each section carefully and prevent damage to the fence.
Once the crew removed the remaining sections of the oak tree, they completed stump grinding and cleaned up all the debris throughout the backyard. The completed project reduced the need for future emergency tree service and storm damage cleanup.
