Taking a DIY Route Is Not a Good Idea
You’ve probably seen countless videos online of hapless homeowners who decided to do their tree cutting and ruined everything. It’s amusing! Until it occurs to you.
The dangers of do-it-yourself tree removal are too real, and we see them frequently. Without the necessary skill and experience, attempting to remove a tree can result in serious injury or even death. Not to mention causing significant damage to your home and property.
Dangers To Look Out For
Numerous things can quickly go wrong when attempting to remove a tree on your own. If the tree does not grow in the expected direction, you or your home may be struck by it (which is very common). A branch could fall and hit you if you don’t use the proper ropes, harnesses, and safety equipment to access the tree. You could also fall from a ladder or the tree itself – the risks are numerous. There’s also the risk of damaging your neighbor’s house or property and colliding with power lines or other utilities.
You may have yet to consider what you’ll do with the massive amount of green waste and debris you’ll be left with if you successfully remove the tree and the stump left in your backyard.
Why Seek Professional Help?
We’ve demonstrated that while it may appear simple, it’s not! Tree removal requires skill, knowledge, years of experience, the right tools and equipment, and insurance.
In most cases, the best thing you can do is contact your local arborist to have your tree removed. A good arborist can assess your tree, determine the best action, and safely and efficiently remove the tree without endangering you or your home. So why take the chance? Don’t let yourself become a statistic. Step back from the saw and contact a professional.
