Holiday Lights At Greater Heights

Many people love special holiday lights because it brings a special pop of color to the somewhat bleak natural color palate of winter after all the leaves have fallen and faded. We decided it was time to illuminate the upper canopies of Asheville with festive lighting. We are making our own light globes and hanging them just for fun! Check out the two trees we have decorated in Montford. One tree is as the intersection of Montford Avenue and Cullowhee Street:We also hung globes in a massive Sycamore on Cumberland Ave across the street from where Montford Park Place intersects it:If you are interested in having us hang globes in your trees for the holiday season 2017, please contact us for pricing!We love our jobs as arborists, but hanging globes is extra fun!

Meet: Captain Hook

Arrr! Tree Pirates! Actually, no, this hook is not used for evil but for good! We use this high strength hook to quickly access different parts of a tree or even another tree nearby to where we are already climbing.  After setting one line as our primary safety point we then use other rigging in order to safely and comfortably get into all parts of the canopy.  The hook is specifically shaped to self locate the best grip on the branch it is tossed onto. By using Captain Hook we can increase our speed maneuvering around the tree and is especially helpful while pruning.Below you can see how a climber can now ascend this rope, anchored with Captain Hook, up a different limb of the tree.
