A few decades ago, I did some tree work. The above is really the only method when you are in a tight neighborhood with houses and fences and pools and other shit in the way of getting a truck in. It is a laborious process, because each piece is tied off before it is cut, and lowered to the ground by a rope to be sure it doesn't land on anything. It ends up being more rope work than anything else, and the good ropes are not cheap.
