Preventive Measures by Taking Down Hazardous Trees
While some home maintenance or beautification projects are suitable for the challenges and rewards of doing the job yourself, tree removal is not one of them. There’s a lot more to it than determining where you want the tree to fall and notching the trunk to coax it in that approximate direction. Additionally, if you have mature trees on your property, chances are that sooner or later you’re going to be faced with the need for some significant trimming and possibly removal. In the case of hazardous trees, it’s far better to take them down as a preventive measure than to wait until they fall, taking down everything around them when they do. Here are two good reasons to consider hiring a professional tree removal service:
Safety
Tree removal is a hazardous undertaking and your first consideration should always be safety. The equipment necessary to complete the job, such as chainsaws, aerial lifts, cranes and cables, wood chippers, and stump grinders, can be highly dangerous if not properly used. There’s also the possibility of falling from heights, being hit by debris, taking down live electrical wires, or damaging other, potentially dangerous utility structures, such as gas lines.
Cost
You might think that taking a tree down yourself will save you money, but that’s a doubtful outcome in the long run. You’ll have to purchase or rent special equipment and tools, driving your costs up while your savings go down. You should also consider your potential cost of liability in the event of damage to any neighboring properties. You could encounter additional expenses for the repair or replacement of structures, fences, vehicles, or other property (yours or your neighbors’) that may be accidentally damaged or destroyed if the tree falls the wrong way.
