Nelson Arborist James Francis of 0800 Tree Trim Ltd shows how to remove a tricky tree.


When it comes to removing large trees from small sections, or removing trees from around houses and power lines it pays to call in a qualified tree climbing arborist. Nelson arborist James Francis has years of experience in climbing trees and bring them down safely in a controlled manner.
Using abseil tree climbing skills and specialist arborist techniques the 0800 Tree Trim team are able to lower tree branches in a controlled manner avoiding damage to buildings and significant items. By piecing down a tree it is possible to bring a large tree to the ground in a very small space.
Often tricky trees will require a crane to remove. 0800 Tree Trim have experience in this aspect of tree removal too, but this can add hundreds and thousands of dollars to the price of a tree removal. Where possible we are able to use special rigging and lower techniques to achieve the same result with less expense. There are also many trees that location does not allow crane access so the only option is to use local abseil tree arborists to piece down the tree.

For your piece of mind we always recommend using a qualified arborist for removing tricky trees. Abseil tree work is our speciality. Nelson / Tasman Tree care is our business.
