First Climb - Miller Job

  
The first job for Landon Tree And Stump Removal that required Aaron to climb was the "Miller" job.  This job was the first major climb for our company. It involved 3 trees but only one had to be climbed. It was early in our learning curve and we would have done the job totally different today, but this job was a milestone for Landon Tree And Stump Removal Service in perfecting the arborist techniques we had been studying. This job involved removing three trees and stumps. Two trees from the front of the house and one from the back. We used the MultiTrac to carry the brush to the street as there was rain on and off during the week and the yard was very wet. We also used the bucket truck on another tree that was just off the driveway.
