Safest Tree Removal

Tree removal can be a challenging and dangerous task, requiring professional expertise and specialized equipment. At Ostvig Tree Care, we have developed a cutting-edge system called Ostvig T-Rex, which is recognized as the safest and best method for tree removal.

Ostvig T-Rex Advanced Technology for arborists

The Ostvig T-Rex system combines advanced technology and skilled arborists to ensure the efficient and secure removal of trees. It utilizes a state-of-the-art crane with a reach of up to 200 feet, allowing our team to access even the tallest and most challenging trees. This eliminates the need for climbers, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Our highly trained arborists work in tandem with the crane operator to carefully dismantle the tree, section by section. This method ensures precise control over the tree’s descent, minimizing the potential for damage to surrounding structures or landscapes.

Additionally, the Ostvig T-Rex system is environmentally friendly. It minimizes the impact on the surrounding vegetation and reduces the noise and disruption typically associated with traditional tree removal methods.

When it comes to tree removal, safety is our top priority. With the Ostvig T-Rex system, you can have peace of mind knowing that your tree removal needs will be handled with the utmost care and expertise. Contact us today.
