I had a few 40 - 50 ft scotch pines blow down in a wind storm last week. Fortunately didn't hit the house but almost. There are still 2 standing 15' from the house and garage. Don't want a next time issue. Insurance won't pay a cent unless they are sitting on the roof.
I'd like to top them (remove 15' from the top sections). Any thoughts on the best way to do this without getting hurt or killed?
I have ladders, saws, rope, chains, etc, but I'd like to know what procedures to follow (saw cut(s), depth, ladder security, call a tree service, etc).
I won't rule out the tree service, either.
Thank you.
