Introduction

When a large split tree starts threatening your home, plumbing, and neighboring property, it becomes an urgent situation that needs expert handling. These are not jobs for basic crews. They require advanced equipment, planning, and precise execution.

At Airborne Tree Service, we specialize in dangerous tree removal across Central Florida. With 40 years of experience, ISA-certified expertise, and remote-controlled equipment, we handle high-risk situations safely and efficiently.

The Challenge

This was a complex and high-risk removal due to the size of the tree, limited working space, and multiple hazards around the property.

Main Challenges

Removing a 40–50 foot split tree with structural instability
Working in tight space between two homes with limited clearance
Avoiding damage to underground water lines and plumbing systems
Preventing falling limbs from hitting the roof or neighboring property

“Had a huge 40–50′ split tree removed. Roots were invading plumbing and limbs falling on neighbors and my roof. Greg explained everything beforehand. They arrived on time and were gone before noon. Amazing to watch their remote-controlled machines as they worked from the top down, stump ground everything into mulch, and cleaned it all up. Courteous crew. Highly recommend.”

Good to Know

Dangerous trees with structural splits and invasive roots can quickly escalate into major property damage if not handled correctly. These situations require controlled removal methods and specialized equipment.

Remote-controlled machinery allows for precise cutting from the top down, reducing risk and maintaining full control throughout the process, especially in tight or sensitive areas.

Our Solution

We began by assessing the structure of the split tree and identifying the safest removal approach. Using our remote-controlled grapple saw, we removed the tree in sections from the top down, maintaining full control over every cut.

This allowed us to safely work within the tight space between homes while protecting water lines and nearby structures. Once the tree was removed, we completed stump grinding to eliminate the remaining base and turned it into mulch.

Throughout the job, our crew maintained a clean site, removing debris as we worked so the property was left in excellent condition.
