Hand falling is the process of manually cutting down trees with precision and control. It is used when machinery cannot safely access an area, or when trees are located near homes, fences, power lines, or other sensitive structures. In Northwestern Wisconsin and the Greater Minnesota region, this method is ideal for removing hazard trees, selectively thinning forests, or preparing sites where heavy equipment would cause too much disturbance.

While machinery is efficient, it cannot always operate safely in tight or sensitive spaces. Hand falling gives the operator complete control over the direction and speed of the tree’s fall, which greatly reduces the risk of accidental damage. In Northwestern Wisconsin  and Greater Minnesota properties with cabins, utility lines, or uneven terrain, hand falling is often the best and safest choice for removing trees.

Yes, cleanup options are available after hand falling. Depending on your needs, we can cut trees into manageable sections, leave firewood-ready logs, or haul away unwanted material. In some cases, we combine hand falling with forestry mulching to recycle smaller material into mulch right on-site. This flexibility allows Northwestern Wisconsin and Greater Minnesota property owners to choose the level of cleanup that works best for their land and future plans.
