A ladder and a chainsaw look manageable together until the saw kicks back and there's nothing stable underneath. It's one of the most common ways a weekend tree project turns into a serious injury, and it happens more often than most homeowners expect.
Anything above head height with a running saw calls for proper rigging, not an extension ladder leaned against a limb. Certified climbers use harnesses and climbing systems specifically because a ladder offers no real stability once a cut starts to move.
The tree work that looks the simplest from the ground, a single overhanging limb or a small dead section, is often the work that carries the most risk when approached without the right equipment and training.
Tree Worx crews are trained and equipped to handle elevated cuts safely across Chattanooga and the surrounding area, so homeowners don't have to take that risk themselves.
