Tree Pruning London Plane Trees in Downtown Seattle

Trimming is important to sustain the health of trees, particularly in this case, around power lines and other utility equipment. In this week’s project, Brian was responsible for pruning a group of London Plane Trees in preparation for new utilities to be installed on the street. They will be bringing in a 40 foot drilling rig into the location so it is our job to make sure we safely remove enough branches to create space for the machinery. Our priority here is to not only preserve the aesthetic appeal of the trees, but protect their future health as well. We brought in a lift in order to access the very tops of these trees.
