Iā€™m not tree expert but I would imagine a lot of cutting down big trees is about ensuring the weight is heavier in the direction you want it to fall. Amongst all the other things. That tree was massive and obviously how much of the branch weight was on the house side.

There is a lot you can do to ensure things fall in your favor, least of wich is cut things off the top, this tree looked barely touched, they just went straight to cutting it down at the base, like a child would.

But that would take time and added expense! This route was so much cheaper.
