Safe Tree Removal & Limb Trimming for Barry Formanack
Leaning tree elimination and limb trimming with complete cleanup in Upstate South Carolina
Introduction
Barry Formanack noticed a big problem developing. A large tree on his property was leaning – not subtly, but aggressively toward his fence and into his neighbor’s yard. He needed removal plus trimming of overhanging limbs without wrecking the fence or damaging his neighbor’s property.
DeVore’s Arbor Care got the call.

“Justin removed a dangerous tree that had started leaning and trimmed limbs from my neighbor’s property. They were cautious around our fence and cleaned up all the debris. Highly recommend DeVore’s!”— Barry Formanack, Upstate South Carolina Homeowner
Good to Know
We coordinate with neighbors before trimming limbs crossing property lines.
- Communication prevents surprises and keeps everyone satisfied.
Our Solution
Step 1
Assessed the leaning tree and spoke with Barry plus his neighbor about our approach.
Step 2
Laid protective mats and set up rigging controlling the direction of falling limbs.
Step 3
Removed the leaning tree in sections, trimmed overhanging limbs and ground the stump.
Step 4
Chipped branches, hauled debris and swept both yards ensuring fences and landscaping stayed undisturbed.
Did You Know
Trees with weak leans can sometimes get reinforced using cable and brace support. But once decay advances or leaning becomes extreme, removal turns into the smarter choice. Arborists evaluate which path makes sense.
