Problem & risk assessment
Mature live oak with heavy lateral limbs over a roofline and significant deadwood through the crown.
Arborist risk assessment
Moderate target (residence + walkway). End-weight loading on south laterals raised the failure probability in straight-line winds.
Decision: preserve vs remove
Preserve. Structural pruning reduced load without sacrificing the canopy form the homeowner valued.
Approach & execution
Crown cleaning followed by selective end-weight reduction on the lateral limbs over the structure, all cuts made to ANSI A300.
Equipment used
- Climbing rigging
- Hand saws
- Pole pruner
- ANSI A300 spec sheet
Outcome
Restored balance and clearance with the canopy character intact. Re-inspection scheduled with the homeowner.
