In this video, Quinton Garlick from Cut It Right Tree Service is on-site in Rosebud, demonstrating how coordinating access with a neighboring block of units makes a difficult tree removal fast, simple, and affordable.
Why "Neighbor Access" is the Secret to Easy Tree Removal
If you have a tree on your property that is growing tight against a fence, near a garden shed, or in a narrow backyard, removing it can feel like a big puzzle.
In our featured video, Quinton visits a home right here in Rosebud (where we are proudly based!) to look at a tree that a customer needs cut down. The tree is positioned right up against a fence next to a neighbor’s backyard shed.
On the customer’s side of the fence, there is very little room to move. But on the other side of the fence, there is a wide, open driveway belonging to a neighboring block of units.
The 20-Minute Solution vs. The Expensive Alternative
Quinton explains how having the right access changes everything:
With Neighbor Access: By getting permission to park a small "cherry picker" (a vehicle with a bucket lift) in the neighbor's spacious driveway, Quinton's team can safely reach over the fence and dismantle the tree in just 20 minutes! We can bring our truck and woodchipper right up the driveway, chip the branches on the spot, and complete the job cleanly and quickly.
Without Neighbor Access: If we are not allowed to step onto the neighboring property, our arborists have to use manual climbing gear. Every single branch must be slowly rope-lowered to avoid hitting the neighbor's shed, and then dragged all the way around the customer’s house to the front street. This takes hours of hard labor and can double the price of your quote.
