Felling : Cutting down a tree in a desired strategic direction. If safe and clear, the entire tree can be felled. Once the tree is cut down, it is then cut into smaller pieces for the clean-up process.

Climbing : Climbing and reducing a tree down by sections is usually the best practical and cost-effective option for carefully removing a tree surrounded by obstacles in all directions, that cannot be felled whole. The weight and force of a medium/large tree falling will inherently impact anything in a desired felling direction. Heavy machinery, trucks, and cranes usually damage driveways, pavement, grass/turf, may not fit, and usually make the project too expensive due to the overhead that a company must financially account for when obtaining such equipment and operators.

Clean Up : You choose the clean-up/haul-away procedure from given options.

Trimming : Cuts made to alter the size or shape of a tree for purely visual aesthetic purposes, or for safety/protective reasons on a property.

Pruning : Cuts made to improve the overall health and structure of a tree by removing damaged, dead, diseased, or rubbing/abrasion branches.

Rope-only(no spikes) climbing is done in both scenarios. Spiking into a tree for pruning or trimming purposes will harm the tree.

The clean-up option that you choose below impacts the job price:

1. leave everything where it lands
2. partial clean-up
3. full clean-up

You choose the clean-up process that you want Tree Fellow to perform. Some customers choose a full clean-up/haul-away option. Some choose to do the clean up work themselves to significantly reduce the job price. Some want the firewood or choose to use the tree parts later, which is also a significant reduction in the job pricing.
