Tree Removal Port Orange
Removing a tree on your property is a big decision to make. In many cases, you simply don’t have a choice. For instance, if a tree is already starting to decay or is dead, then it has to be removed. Hazardous trees can be a risk to you and the property that surrounds it. Sometimes, tree removal becomes necessary when you need to use the area where the tree is for something else such as a home expansion. Whatever the reason may be, you must know that DIY tree removal should not be an option. There are many dangers to it that you should be considering.

Many property owners opt to cut down trees on their own simply because they don’t want to pay for the service from professional contractors. Because of their intention to save money, they risking so many things such as accidents, injury, and damage to property due to improper tree removal. Furthermore, tree removal requires equipment and special tools to carry out. In many cases, an ax or a chainsaw is simply not enough.

When you choose to cut down a tree on your own, even if it’s in your own property, you may be risking your safety and everyone else that surrounds you. We’ve seen tree cutting accidents that devastated not only the homeowner but entire neighborhoods. Even if you already have the necessary equipment for tree removal, if the person doing it isn’t skilled and experienced in the job, then you may still find yourself in a bad situation.

See for yourself. Here are some tree cutting fails compiled on video.

As you can see in the video compilation above, some of these people seem to be working with the right equipment but accidents still happened. With hopes of saving a few extra bucks, they end up spending more to repair cars, roofs, and entire homes. Some even had to go through major power outages just because someone attempted to DIY tree removal. If you need to remove a tree from your property, just call a licensed and trusted contractor. You won't regret it.

I've got a tree that I need to get removed. As you said here, most people go with the DIY approach because they don't want to pay someone to do it. I'd rather pay someone who knows what they are doing than to trust myself where I could potentially fell the tree onto my house.

It made sense when you said that cutting down a tree on our own puts our safety at risk. My yard has a dead tree that I want to remove soon. Your article helped me understand why hiring a tree removal service would be worth the cost!

It's good to know that you run the risk of causing an accident if you attempt to cut down your trees on your own. My brother has been telling me about how he has an old oak tree in his yard that he wants to get rid of soon. I'll share this information with him so that he can look into his options for professionals who can help him with this in the future.

It made sense when you said that property owners who try to save money by cutting down their own trees are actually putting themselves at risk for things like injury and property damage. My husband and I noticed that the oak tree in our back yard is decayed and in need of removal. Thanks for helping me understand why it'd be worth the cost to hire a professional tree service to handle the removal!

Being an arborist is actually one of the most dangerous professions of all. Working with dangerous tools at 20-30+ feet above the ground can be extremely dangerous if just one thing goes wrong. Its better to leave something like that up to the professionals who have years of experience working under those conditions. Good post!

My uncle's old tree has been showing signs of disease and he has been thinking of cutting it himself. I had no idea that there are experts who can cut and remove it for him along with keeping everyone around the area safe. I should share this with him so he'd consider hiring experts instead to deal with it.

It stood out to me when you explained that accidents are still common even if you have the right equipment for the job. My brother and his wife mentioned they want to trim down the large fir tree by the side of their single-family home. I'll have to share your article so they can see why hiring a professional tree maintenance service for the job would be the right choice for their family's safety!

Stump removal is the process of removing a stump from the ground. All roots attached to the stump will be dug up and removed by your tree removal service. This procedure eliminates the possibility of stump deterioration and the pests that accompany it. It's vital to keep in mind that stump removal is time-consuming, and you'll have to have the hole in your yard filled in after the stump is removed. If you have extensive landscaping ideas for your yard, though, stump removal is the best solution.

Completely agreeing with you! As Tree Care Service professionals, we would strongly suggest people to think twice before trying out all these DIY practices. It could even worse if the tree is near a power line wires, cause it is almost impossible to remove or trim trees without coming in contact with the electric wires. Always choose professional help!

There's a tree on my property that I want to get rid of, and I'm not sure what to do about it. It makes sense that I would want to get a professional to help out with this. They would be able to ensure that it's safely removed without any issues.

I totally agree when you said that we might be risking many things by trying to do the tree removal by ourselves. With that in mind, I would definitely hire a professional instead to ensure that my property and myself will be safe. I just have to get rid of the tree on our front yard which is leaning towards the street after a strong hurricane passed our location.
