There are many DIY projects that seem easy, and even fun, but when it comes to DIY tree removal, it’s best left to the professionals.
While it may seem like a great way to save money, tackling your own tree removal can be a risky and dangerous task, if you do not have the experience. One wrong move and you could injure yourself, damage your home or even open yourself up to legal issues with your neighbors.
Here are a few reasons to skip DIY tree removal:
- You Do Not Have The Experience: Having the right experience is crucial for a successful tree removal. Without the experience, you could miscalculate where the tree will fall once it’s cut down, putting you, your home and your neighbor’s home in danger. It’s always best to leave the tree services to the experts. They are licensed and trained in the safest, most effective tree removal methods.
- You Do Not Have The Tools: Tree removals require more than an axe or chainsaw. There are several tools that are essential for an effective and safe tree removal. Equipment can include everything from chainsaws and hatchets to felling wedges, ropes, pruning shears and wood chippers to dispose of larger tree parts.
- There Could Be Further Damage: Diseased trees create unstable environments and can be extremely dangerous to cut down, if you do not have the experience. Cutting into an infected or diseased tree can result in it splitting in unexpected places, branches falling unpredictably and much more. Professional tree removal experts are trained to spot the signs of a diseased tree and have experience in how to handle them during removal.
- You Lack The Right Coverage: Professional tree removal companies are often insured to protect against unexpected damage or accidents. Homeowner’s insurance might not cover damage incurred by DIY tree removal.
