A pin oak drops a limb on a slate roof off Council Rock and the homeowner's already up a ladder with a handsaw. Please don't. Slate breaks under a boot, and loaded wood moves when you cut it. Folks still bring up Cheswell Way and the 2017 windstorm.
Norway maples through Home Acres and the Houston Barnard tract went in with the houses — 80 to 100 years old now, past their easy years. Side yards there are too tight for a bucket. We climb, or set a crane on a long driveway off Clover or Allens Creek and pick the tree out over the house in pieces.

Trees here fall under Town Code Chapter 175. What it requires depends on the tree's size, location and condition — check with the town first.

We climb it and rig the wood down, or reach over the house with a crane. Depends on the lean and what's under it.
