Best equipment, quick work

Picked, not chunked.

“While others may need to laboriously cut trees into small firewood sizes for manual removal, our advanced machinery can lift significantly larger pieces.”

Lester's Tree Service, on why the trucks matter

Bigger pieces mean fewer cuts in the air, fewer trips across the lawn and a job that finishes in a fraction of the time. That is the whole reason the fleet costs what it does. What shows up in your driveway:

  • Grapple log loader
  • Track loaders with grapples
  • Tracked spider lift
  • Crane on the big ones
  • Forestry mulcher
  • Three crews
A Kubota track loader lifting a whole trunk round in its grapple into a dump trailer
A whole round, straight into the trailer.
A crane lifting a leaning tree off a house
The crane takes it off the roof, not over it.
A 65 ft pine, start to finish

In at eight. Gone by ten.

“They showed at 8 am and was gone by 10 am. That was unloading their equipment, cutting the tree down, removing it and cleaning up.”

  1. 8:00
  2. “Unloading their equipment”

    The trucks, the grapple and the saws come off the trailer. Bill had already been out to look at the tree, so the crew arrives knowing where everything goes.

  3. “cutting the tree down”

    A climber or the lift takes the top out in sections. Nothing gets dropped where it can bounce into the house, the fence or the drive.

  4. “removing it”

    The grapple lifts the big pieces straight onto the truck. No cutting a trunk down to firewood rounds and carrying it out by hand.

  5. “and cleaning up.”

    Limbs, leaves and sawdust picked up off the lawn. Their own line: leaving no trace of there ever being tree work done.

  6. 10:00

Every tree is different and nobody can promise a clock before they have seen it. What this job shows is how the crew works when the equipment fits the tree. How a removal is planned

Jobs, in the customers' own words.
