Specialized tree removal techniques for Albany properties include removing trees in extremely tight access situations, working around overhead obstructions, and addressing trees with unusual characteristics requiring custom approaches beyond standard removal procedures. Unusual situations demand creative problem-solving and specialized skills. Confined space removals address trees in courtyards, atriums, and locations completely enclosed by buildings where equipment access is impossible and all material must be carried out manually. We dismantle trees in small pieces, carrying sections through buildings to exterior disposal areas. Hand-rigging techniques use manual pulling systems, block and tackle arrangements, and careful planning controlling wood sections without powered equipment in locations where machinery can't operate. Multiple redirect rigging routes ropes through multiple direction changes, controlling wood movement through complex paths around obstacles and structures. We use redirect systems when straight-line lowering would contact obstacles, routing ropes around intervening structures. Negative rigging from external anchors supports lowering operations after climbers descend below work, using adjacent trees, structures, or installed anchors as rigging points for final sections. Tree removal from rooftops and structures addresses trees growing through decks, rooted in buildings, or otherwise integrated with structures requiring careful separation preventing structure damage. We dismantle carefully, protecting structures throughout operations. Confined drop zones smaller than tree sections require extensive sectioning, cutting pieces small enough to fit available landing areas and rigging precisely to place sections in tiny target areas. We work with extreme precision, achieving accuracy necessary for severely limited drop zones.
