Using a Speed Line for
Tree Removal


Because trees present different problems when trimming or removing them, we know there are many different ways to take down a tree. Honey Cove Landscape & Tree Services always focuses on efficiency and safety.


For example, if dropping a limb straight to the ground isn’t possible, we often use a Speed Line. A speed line is an efficient method for removing limbs and rounds from a tree to a remote drop zone. Speed lining is especially useful when working above landscaping or buildings where the drops could cause damage.


By setting up a speed line, we can preserve the area below the tree and still get the job done safely and efficiently. The above photo shows a limb moving down a line to a drop zone beyond the house.


If you have trees that need to be trimmed or removed, call Honey Cove Landscape & Tree Services for an estimate.
