Multiple Maple Tree Removals for Hard-Co Construction in Lindsay
Recent Work | Lindsay, Ontario | Tree removal for construction
Hard-Co Construction needed to remove several maple trees from a site in Lindsay before construction could proceed. The work included a silver maple, Manitoba maples and Autumn Blaze maples. Primary hydro wires ran close to part of the work area, so the trees’ location mattered as much as their size.
Our crew used a bucket truck for the removal work near the overhead lines. We used the excavator to load the loads safely and efficiently, allowing Hard Co to continue their project and meet their deadlines.

Removing maples close to primary hydro wires
The silver maple was located in close proximity to primary hydro wires. Our arborists safely removed the tree using one of our dielectric bucket trucks. On this site, the bucket truck gave the crew access to the upper tree sections as they were removed. The photographs show how close the overhead lines were to the work area.
Chris and the crew follow applicable hydro safety guidelines as part of their regular tree-removal work. For a contractor, the key is to identify overhead services before work starts so they can plan the removal method and access around them.

Heavy trunk and stump removal
Once the upper sections were down, a considerable amount of wood remained. The excavator handled large trunk pieces and cleared the work area for the next stage.
Not all stumps were treated the same way. Some were pulled out with the excavator; others were ground down. Stump grinding leaves material below ground, while extraction removes the stump itself. The right approach depends on what the contractor plans to do with that part of the site.

Tree work that had to happen before construction
The removals were needed so Hard-Co could proceed with construction. The job involved bucket-truck access near overhead wires, removing multiple maples, handling large sections of timber, and dealing with the stumps in two different ways.
These are the details worth sorting out early on a building site. Before requesting a tree-removal estimate, it helps to know which trees need to come out, where the overhead services are, how equipment can reach the work area and whether stumps need grinding or complete extraction.
Need trees removed before construction starts?
If you are planning a building or civil construction project and trees are in the way, we can discuss the site, access, and scope of work before providing an estimate.
