Tree removal may seem like a simple proposition. Still, there are several things to consider when planning or modifying trees on your property. As with many things in life, location, location, location tops the list. People often plant small trees too close to the house, causing problems down the line. Professionals consider trees a liability or an asset, depending on their health. Tree roots can be invasive, lifting sidewalks, driveways, and foundations. Bugs or fungus can destroy a tree, necessitating removal. Spencer Tree Service can evaluate the trees on your property and offer the appropriate services to keep your property beautiful!
Tree Removal Considerations
Spencer Tree Service considers all the factors before removing a tree. Protecting your property during the process is first and foremost. Removing a colossal tree may require a crane or other heavy equipment. Taking a tree down shouldn’t mean destroying your lawn in the process. Proper prep work ensures minimal damage from removing substantial limbs and the entire tree. Limbs can weigh 1,000 pounds or more. Mistakes can be destructive or deadly. This is not a DIY job.
Scheduling Removal
You want a dead tree removed immediately to avoid a potential disaster. A tree with dying or dead roots risks toppling onto your roof and power lines during a storm. You have choices if you remove trees that don’t pose immediate danger. A contractor might have less expensive pricing during the off-season. You’ll also want to schedule around any outdoor events you have planned. Small trees don’t take much time to remove, but big trees can take longer to complete the job.
Tree Elimination Process Steps
First, you should schedule an annual maintenance checkup for your landscape to avoid losing parts of your much-loved property. Professionals can identify problems early and advise you on the health of your trees. You can fix some issues, but specific bugs or fungus infestations require removal; otherwise, problems spread to healthy trees. Once an arborist determines a tree needs to come down, scheduling comes next.
Removal of large trees requires heavy equipment and planning. Disposal of the wood is another consideration. You might decide to keep the wood if it isn’t tainted with a disease or pests that can spread. Do you have a wood-burning fireplace, stove, fire pit, or go camping and enjoy an epic bonfire? Or, is woodworking your passion? Spencer will remove all the debris if you don’t have any use for the wood.
Is Tree Removal A Good DIY Project?
DIY tree removal is contingent on the size of the tree. You can manage removing small trees if you’re handy with a chainsaw and a shovel. You’ll want to update your life insurance policy before tackling medium or large trees. Chainsaws gone awry when you’re up high on a branch, close to live power lines, can be deadly. There are so many things that can go wrong. This is a good time to call the professionals at Spencer Tree Service, grab your lawn chair and a cold beverage, and watch the show.
