What we do
Dune and hard-access removals
No room for a crane or bucket truck? We climb the tree, then use a skid steer and custom pulley systems to get the wood up and over the dune, in full-length logs when the site allows.
Hazardous tree removal
Leaning, storm-damaged, or dead trees taken down piece by piece, with your property protected.
Contract climbing
A skilled climber for your crew when the job is tall, tight, or technical.
Pruning and cleanup
Precision pruning, plus fallen limbs and debris hauled away.
Who you hire is who you get
The owner is the climber and the cutter. Robert King has 15 years of experience in hazardous removals and in jobs where equipment access is impossible, and he is the one in your tree.

Where trucks and cranes can't go
Many lake homes sit on steep dunes that heavy equipment can't reach. We climb in, lower every piece under control, and use a skid steer or rigged pulley systems to move the wood up and over the dune, leaving your yard clean.
