Comprehensive Tree Maintenance on Hermit Trail, Altamonte
On Thursday, June 6th, our team undertook a significant tree maintenance project on Hermit Trail, Altamonte, for our customer Bruce. The task involved removing a major lead branch from over the right side of his house and performing a heavy de-moss on the lower 40% of four oak trees in his backyard. These measures were aimed at promoting sunlight penetration and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the trees.
We arrived at Bruce’s property at 8:30 AM, fully equipped and ready to address the complex requirements of the job. The initial assessment revealed several challenges, including the need to avoid driving over the drain field and septic tank. Additionally, we had to carefully rope and lower heavy pieces of the branch, some weighing over 300 pounds, to prevent any damage to the roof.
Our team began with the removal of the major lead branch. This task required precise cutting and controlled lowering to ensure the safety of the house and the surrounding area. Using ropes and rigging techniques, we carefully managed the descent of each heavy piece, successfully avoiding any impact on the roof.
Next, we focused on the de-mossing process. The lower 40% of the four oak trees was heavily covered in moss, which not only blocked sunlight but also affected the trees’ appearance. Our team meticulously removed the moss, allowing more sunlight to penetrate and giving the trees a healthier and more vibrant look.
Throughout the seven-hour job, which lasted from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, our team maintained a high level of caution and precision. Navigating around the drain field and septic tank required strategic planning and careful movement of our equipment.
By the end of the day, we had successfully completed the tasks to Bruce’s satisfaction. The major lead branch was safely removed, and the oak trees were significantly de-mossed, resulting in improved sunlight exposure and a more attractive appearance. This project highlighted our team’s ability to handle complex tree maintenance tasks with expertise and care, ensuring both safety and quality results.
