Access is routinely secured by moving bins and coordinating with neighbors to relocate cars to keep the crane path clear. Crews can reach yards through constrained routes, including spaces accessed along fences, to remove heavy trunks and limbs. Work is described as efficient with thorough cleanup, leaving the yard and alley cleared afterward.
