Okay, that does it — that ugly old tree in your yard absolutely has to go!
DIY tree removal could save you a few bucks, but is that really a bright idea? No! Below, we explain why it’s better to call Arbor Green Tree Service, a provider of top-rated tree services in Milford, CT, instead.
Do You Have the Tools and Right Safety Gear? We’d Bet Not
Think you can just go to town on that tree without the right arborist tools and enjoy a job well done? Think again. A rusty ax or old chainsaw won’t be enough for tree felling, not if you want to do it without causing major damage.
You’ll also need a ladder, rigging tools, and protective clothing (you can’t risk chainsaw operation without good boots, a jacket, and a hardhat).
If the tree is very tall, you might have to take it down in sections. For that, you’ll need a spider lift and bucket truck. Unless you’re a pro, that’s equipment you probably don’t have.
Prepare To Shell Out Cash for Damages and an ER Trip
You shout “Timber!” and get ready to behold the results of your handiwork — except that monster lands on your roof instead. You can practically hear the cash draining from your bank account already.
When you’re clueless about tree work, the job might not go the way you thought it would. The tree could crash through your windows, smoosh your car like a pancake, or worst of all, topple on someone’s head. You might save a penny now, but you’ll pay a fortune later.
Power Lines: The Bane of Amateur Tree Removers Everywhere
What if your tree is all tangled up in the power lines? No problem, you think. You’ll just be really careful.
If you go ahead with your DIY removal project, you might be in for an utterly shocking surprise. Trees shed branches when you chop them down, and should one touch a power line, you could have a massive inferno to put out. And touching a power line could, quite literally, be the death of you.
How Will You Handle That Stubborn Stump?
Stump grinding and root extraction isn’t for the faint of heart. Once the tree is gone, how will you get rid of it? Pulling it out by hand is backbreaking work, and don’t even think about yanking it out with your truck (unless you want to say goodbye to your bumper).
Yes, you could rent a stump grinder if you’re okay with throwing $400 bucks down the drain. But why bother when you can call the experts, like us?
Don’t Pick Up That Chainsaw, Call the Pros Instead!
As you’ve seen, DIY tree removal simply isn’t smart no matter how you slice it. Don’t risk your safety and sanity; call Arbor Green Tree Service instead. We’ll help you get a tree removal permit and, if necessary, provide specialized services like crane assisted tree removal to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently.
