Tree removal is the best option when you have an overgrown tree, a storm damaged tree, or you just want more space in the yard. Safety needs to be taken when removing a tree. Always make sure you know what you are taking on when performing a tree project on your own. It is important to have someone onsite with you, even if you have some knowledge working with the project at hand. Tree felling is known to be a very dangerous activity; this should never be attempted unless you have proper equipment and knowledge. In some state, tree felling is illegal without proper certification. Any potential hazards that are in the immediate area need to be identified and removed. A path needs to be created allowing the person to reach safety. Hinge wood must be place to guide the tree during the fall. Proper safety equipment needs to be worn by everyone in the area. If a tree falls on a younger tree it can cause a domino effect. All of these precautions must be taken under ideal circumstances. Broken, diseased, or dead trees come with other dangers that need to be dealt with accordingly.

If you want to save the tree you need to make sure you need the removal service. If the roots are causing problems when cutting the lawn it would be best to grind the roots and place soil and plant grass seed in the area.

If you want to completely remove a tree and the roots then you might be able to complete the project with an axe and spade. Otherwise you may need the services of a professional.

If you need a ladder make sure it is supported with a solid, healthy limb. Never attempt to climb a ladder with a trimming tool. Climb and then have someone pass you the tool. One reason to hire a professional is the equipment they use. Proper chain saws and tree pruners can be valuable during the trimming process. They will be able to bring a wood chipper to help with limb removal. If you have been considering a mulching project now is the time since the wood chipper will be making mulch from your own trees. Tree trimming and tree removal are both common after high winds of a storm. If working near power lines safety is of the utmost importance. Tree limbs do not have to be touching power lines to present a danger.
