Dave Wickline’s Broken Limb Problem
Broken limb removal and cleanup in Champaign area
Introduction
Dave’s out there one morning and sees a big limb sitting right on his patio cover. Thing’s still hanging from the tree. He can’t mess with it himself because one wrong move and the patio’s toast. Called us to come sort it out.
Project Summary
Location: Champaign area
Service: Broken limb removal and cleanup
Equipment Used / Tools: Climbing gear, chainsaws, ropes, mini skid steer, chipper, dump trucks
Crew: ISA-Certified arborists
Completion Time: Same day
The Challenge
Limb’s already touching the patio cover. Still connected up in the tree. Can’t use a bucket truck to get in there. Somebody’s gotta free-climb it and section the thing out without letting anything drop.
Main Challenges
- Reach a high limb with just climbing gear
- Cut it down in pieces without damaging the patio cover
- Clean everything up after
“They did a great job in removing a broken limb that was resting on my patio cover. To do this they had to climb my tree to cut the branch that was still partially connected to the tree. They did a great job with clean up too.”— Dave Wickline, Champaign Area Homeowner
Good to Know
We do climbing removals all the time. Places where trucks won’t reach. Ropes and rigging keep branches controlled so nothing gets wrecked.
Our Solution
Step 1
Checked out where the limb was attached. Got the ropes ready and our climber geared up.
Step 2
He went up the tree, started cutting the limb into smaller chunks. Each piece got lowered on a rope instead of just falling.
Step 3
Once it was all on the ground we ran it through the chipper. Mini skid steer helped move stuff around. Swept and raked Dave’s patio after.
Step 4
Walked through with Dave before we took off. Patio cover’s fine. Yard’s clean.
Did You Know
Trees with cracked or weak limbs can get cables and braces installed to hold things together. Stops branches from breaking off later. Most people wait till something falls but you can catch it early with an inspection.

Our Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need a crane for limb removal?
Not usually. Most limbs we can get with climbing and ropes. If it’s huge and there’s space we’ll bring the crane.
2. Will you protect my stuff?
That’s the point. We rig everything so branches come down away from your house and fences and whatever else is there.
3. Do you offer tree health assessments?
Yeah. Our arborists can look at your trees and tell you what needs pruning or if something’s gonna be a problem.
The Result
Patio cover stayed good. Limb’s gone. Yard looked clean like nothing happened.
