the location of the tree. To ensure that the
tree is taken out safely the tree trimmer needs
to plan ahead. They need to ensure that it is
done with minimum damage to the objects around
it. If the tree is close to power lines or a
home the path of the fall of the tree must be
calculated precisely. Once everything has been
mapped out the tree trimmer will climb into the
tree and trim away all of the major branches. By

which way the tree falls. It also reduces the
risks of damage caused by breaking branches and
