About
Twenty people, three climbing crews, one line that picks up
We started as a storm crew and grew into a company that also does planned removals, pruning and stumps. The storm line is still the part we plan everything around.
Three crews climb and rig. A ground crew chips and hauls. A dispatcher keeps the storm line, and the on-call lead takes it at night. Thach Tree & Rigging is woman-owned.
