Storm Cleanup-Massive Oak Tree Branch Removal In Indianapolis

Updated: Dec 13



This massive tree, a magnificent specimen of nature, presents a significant challenge that necessitates cutting it into manageable chunks for removal. The sheer size and weight of oak trees can be astounding, with some individuals weighing up to 1000 pounds! Such immense weight means that without breaking the tree down into smaller pieces, there would be no feasible way to remove it from its location. To tackle this task, we employ one of our trusty chainsaws, a reliable tool that has served us well in numerous storm clean up tree removal projects.


The process begins at the top of the tree, where we carefully slice off the branches. This initial step is crucial; by removing the branches first, we reduce the overall bulk of the tree, making it significantly easier to manage and remove from the site. Once the branches have been severed, we focus our attention on the tree trunk itself. Using the chainsaw, we methodically begin dividing the trunk into segments. This is no easy feat; the tree's sheer thickness presents a formidable challenge, but our team is skilled and determined, and we work diligently to get the job done efficiently. As we cut the trunk into manageable pieces, we also utilize our mini skid steer, a versatile piece of machinery that aids us in the removal process. With a grapple attachment, we navigate around the worksite, deftly grabbing the branches we have just cut and hauling them away to a designated area for disposal. Once all the foliage has been successfully cleared from the vicinity, we shift our focus to the more substantial task of removing the tree trunk itself. While we can easily grab and haul away some of the smaller parts of the trunk, we quickly discover that the main logs are far too thick to be lifted by our grappling attachment. This presents a new challenge, but we are resourceful and adapt our strategy accordingly.


Instead of attempting to lift the heavy logs, we employ the mini skid steer to roll them away. This innovative solution proves effective, as the cylindrical shape of the logs allows for easier movement across the ground. It’s fortunate that trees aren’t shaped like squares, as that would complicate the removal process significantly! After rolling the logs out of sight and clearing the area, we can finally declare the tree removal complete. The transformation of the space is remarkable, and we take pride in our ability to restore order to the environment.
