The Ladder-and-Chainsaw Combination We See Go Wrong Most Often

Post Copy

A ladder and a chainsaw look manageable together until the saw kicks back and there's nothing solid under your feet. It's one of the most common ways weekend tree jobs turn into ER visits.

Anything above head height with a running saw needs proper rigging, not a extension ladder leaned against a limb. Certified crews use harnesses and climbing systems for a reason.

Have you ever gotten partway into a tree job and realized you were in over your head? What made you stop?
