Skid Steer Calgary

How to properly remove a large tree.

First thing is to evaluate the entire situation from approach, hazards, experience, fall area, and handling of the fallen tree and branches which look small from below, but always surprise you how big they are. If it is a large size tree you would be better off calling a professional. Especially if you are dealing with high traffic, crowded residential area. In this case, do not even attempt unless you have vast experience and knowledge in doing this.

Approximately 100 people die each year in North America to tree cutting incidents. In most cases, it is someone underneath holding a rope trying to guide falling pieces, or the actual tree cutter themselves get dragged down by falling debris. a well-known lawsuit in the states has a resident being sued by a jogger's family that was killed from a large branch falling while he was running on a path that was unmarked and not blocked off. This not only affects yourself and your family for life but other innocent people and their families as well.

Now in dealing with smaller trees a professional approach is a common idea as well - within reason of course. Tackling any tree with substance and weight is still an engineering project. In most cases if there is a concern of tree placement than tackling it piece by piece from the top down is a feasible solution as long as you are being safe. Read up your local guidelines to be sure as in most cases, you may need a permit to block off areas such as sidewalks and street areas. Our advantage is that we would discern that for you. We would also use our buckets roped with the pieces being cut as a tagline to direct any falling debris, and our operator would be safe in his secured steel structure. 

Before taking on the project yourself for smaller trees you should educate yourself on reliable information for your own protection. Better yet hire a professional - even if it is not Steer Bobcat.

Concrete Removal Calgary.

Putting aside the labor intensive requirements needed for concrete removal, large excavation equipment, or using a Bobcat for  removal is still one of our favorite jobs to do. There is some satisfaction in ripping up an eyesore to make way for new development. If you are looking for cutting or coring we can offer that service as well. Once we rip it out we can prep it up for a new pad whatever the size of the project may be.
