Down where it was aimed, every time.

A felled tree goes where the notch sends it. The face cut decides the direction, the back cut leaves a strip of hinge wood that steers the fall, and wedges go in behind the saw so the tree cannot sit back on the bar. The reel on the feed captioned "when you hit the hole" is exactly that: a long trunk going over into the one clear stretch of lawn between the house and the road, and lying where it was put.

When there is no gap that size, the tree is taken down from the top instead. A climber or the bucket works down through the crown, limbs come off in pieces small enough to control, and the trunk is dropped in rounds once there is nothing left above it to swing. It takes longer than a single fell, and it is how a tree beside a house comes out without touching the house.

What is left gets dealt with on the same visit. Brush goes through the chipper and the trunk is bucked into rounds. Whether the wood stays for the fireplace or leaves on the truck is worth saying when you call, because it changes the job.
