We use a throwball connected to a thin nylon line. We throw the ball over a limb. Once we get it where we want it, we then connect a rope to the ball. By pulling the cord, we pull threw the rope over the branch. Then we climb the rope using different climbing techniques. We always use a safety lanyard to secure position when using chainsaw, moving main rope or for better positioning. We are never not tried into tree once aloft. We only use spikes for complete tree removals. We don’t use spike for pruning because spike marks could be entry points for disease and insects.
We do receive different kinds of payments. Your payment can be made in cash, checks, credit card. Credit Card payments can be made directly from the invoice sent to the email on file.

Yes, we are both licensed and insured. We have been licensed since the start of the company in 2001. All our vehicles are also insured.
The best time to prune trees is when the tree is dormant. Since the tree is not active, the removal of branches will be less stressful for trees. Elms and birches should only be pruned during the winter, although deadwood can be removed at any time. For all other trees they can be pruned any time of the year.
