A Storm-Damaged Silver Maple Near a Belle Meade Driveway Removed in Sections to Protect a Retaining Wall

Post Copy

A recent job in Belle Meade involved a silver maple that had lost a major limb in a storm, leaving the trunk leaning toward a stone retaining wall and a paved driveway below.

Dropping the whole tree at once wasn't an option with that much at stake. The crew rigged and lowered the tree in sections, piece by piece, keeping full control over where each cut landed.

The wall and driveway came through without a scratch, and the homeowner didn't have to worry about a second failure while the work was underway. That's the difference careful rigging makes on a tight site.

Have any storm-damaged trees on your property leaning toward a wall, fence, or driveway right now?
