"A climber should NEVER spur up a living tree to be trimmed as spurs damage the tree. Spurs are only to be used in removals. The safest way to enter the tree is by footlocking up a climbing line."
|
"Final stage in removing a tree. While standing on spurs, the climber chunks out section of the main trunk and lowers them to the ground."
|
"We can perform root crown excavations where we pull away excess soil from around the trunk of the tree to expose the root flair. Trees do not tolerate grade changes. Excess soil against the trunk and over the roots can breed root funguses and promote root loss due to lack of oxygen."

|
