Efficient Tree Removal & Yard Protection for Ariel Banacki

DeVore’s Arbor Care Upstate South Carolina Dangerous tree elimination with stump grinding and complete cleanup

Introduction

Ariel Banacki spotted a tree leaning toward her house. Not slightly leaning – seriously tilted and getting worse. She needed fast professional help from a crew that would respect her property and actually clean up afterward, not just leave debris piles everywhere.

DeVore’s Arbor Care took the challenge.

Project Summary

Service: Dangerous tree elimination with stump grinding and complete cleanup

Equipment Used: Chainsaws, bucket truck, rigging setups, chipper, dump truck, stump grinder, protective mats

The Challenge

Tree proximity to Ariel’s house and driveway demanded precise cutting and rigging. One wrong move and we’d be damaging her roof or landscaping.

Main Challenges

  1. Working in cramped quarters around the home without harming structures.
  2. Lowering heavy limbs safely using ropes and mats.
  3. Thorough cleanup making it look like we’d never been there.
“These guys did a great job cutting down a tree that was leaning toward my house. They cleaned up everything and were very professional. I will definitely hire them again! Highly recommend!”
— Ariel Banacki, Upstate South Carolina Homeowner

Good to Know

We protect lawns by placing mats under equipment and rigging lines.

  • This prevents tire ruts and keeps grass looking healthy instead of torn up.

Our Solution

Step 1

Consulted with Ariel explaining our approach and answering her questions.

Step 2

Laid protective mats and set up rigging guiding sections safely groundward.

Step 3

Used chainsaws and bucket truck removing the tree in manageable sections, grinding stump below grade afterward.

Step 4

Chipped branches, loaded debris, raked the yard and invited Ariel to review finished work.

Did You Know

Insurance companies typically cover tree removal only when storms or wind cause trees to fall. Dead or dying trees that topple on calm days? Those costs usually come out of pocket. Addressing leaning trees early saves money and prevents destruction.
