When it comes to taking care of your house and property, some things require your own special attention and care to complete correctly. However, there are those tasks that just have to be done by a professional. And among the top things you should always retain a professional service for is tree removal.
Tree removal takes skills, equipment and experience might just not have in order to complete the job safely and to your satisfaction. You know exactly what you want, and the professionals are here to make it happen. Here is why you should always hire a professional tree service company.
Safety First
Tree removal poses an inherent safety risk, regardless of the size, height or variety of the tree. Documentation on the dangers of tree removal makes it a notorious field. News outlets and the Bureau of Labor Statistics consistently rank logging as one of the most dangerous occupations. When logging occupies a spot in the top five most dangerous, it usually takes spot number one. And that only takes professionals into consideration.
Any unskilled individual attempting tree removal on their own risks not only their own well-being but that of anyone close by. A falling tree can be unpredictable and even the slightest miscalculation could result in serious property damage and/or bodily harm. Not only are the trees and branches themselves dangerous, but the tools involved also pose danger.
Chainsaws, wood chippers, cables and all of the other equipment necessary for tree removal takes time to learn to safely operate before even being able to use them effectively. You may have a friend or family member skilled with these tools who may offer to help. Always turn down that assistance and hire a professional tree service to avoid injury to them and potential financial costs such as medical care or lawsuits.
The Right Equipment
Having the right tools for tree removal allows a professional crew to get the job done quickly, confidently and, above all else, safely. Some of the tools needed for tree removal are expensive. A company with all of the right equipment will also never have to cut corners trying to avoid an equipment expense, since they already have that equipment. It makes more sense to hire a tree service company than to purchase this equipment for maybe one or two uses. Plus mastering that equipment takes a lot of time and energy.
Depending on the size of the tree, you might need more than a ladder and a chainsaw. Harnesses, cables, ropes, helmets, gloves and everything else you need takes up space in your home and takes money out of your pocket. Finding the right equipment for the job can also be difficult, since you will not know what kind of tools you need until the project is underway. Hiring a professional company takes away all of that confusion and uncertainty.
Experience
Along with those tools comes experience. Tree service companies feature crews who know what tools they will need and the right way to take down a tree. Nothing goes wrong like tree removal when done by amateurs. The results could be genuinely disastrous. In case you are not quite convinced, just look up “tree cutting fails” on your favorite video streaming website. Yikes.
When an experienced professional looks at a tree they know exactly what to do. They know the tools they will need to get up there. They know the tools they will need to start cutting. They know the tools they will need to make sure the tree goes the right way after it’s been cut. Without this experience you will be left guessing, and tree removal is no place for a gamble.
A Complete Job
There is a lot more to tree removal than just hacking at it with a chainsaw. You have to figure out where the wood will go, how it is going to get there and how to completely clean up after the job. You might be left with a huge stump in your yard, and if you thought getting rid of the tree was hard you will definitely be in for a treat. Stump removal can really be a pain.
Tree service companies take care of the whole operation so you do not have to worry about cutting, hauling or removing any stumps. And if you decide you want the firewood you can either ask them to leave the tree there for you or take it to a woodcutting service to return all ready for use.
Whatever your wishes or concerns, professional tree service companies take care of the entire process so you do not have to worry. When dealing with tree removal, hiring a professional is the only way to go.
