Field Work & Arborist Video Documentation

---

 Crane-assisted tree removal performed in Mount Vernon using controlled rigging techniques to manage load movement and reduce impact to nearby homes and landscaping. Work followed professional arborist evaluation and site-specific planning. 

 This time-lapse video documents a controlled, crane-assisted removal of a hollow oak tree with approximately 30 feet of internal decay. The tree was located near a park overlooking the Potomac River at Arcturus on the Potomac in Fort Hunt, VA. Crane assistance was used to safely manage compromised wood and surrounding site constraints while minimizing impact to the adjacent landscape and park setting. 

 Large stump grinding performed in Fort Hunt using a remote-controlled tracked grinder to safely remove below-grade root mass with minimal surface disturbance.

This equipment allows precise control in confined residential spaces, reducing turf damage, limiting soil disruption, and improving operator safety compared to walk-behind machines.

Work was completed following professional site evaluation by Sean Harman, ISA Certified Arborist®.

 Sectional crane pick performed near Fort Hunt to safely remove compromised wood while maintaining full control of load direction and swing.

Lift planning, rigging angles, and landing zones were established in advance to minimize shock loading and reduce impact to surrounding trees, turf, and adjacent property.

All work followed site-specific planning and professional arborist oversight.
