If you’re like most people, you prefer to do things yourself when possible, because it saves some money and makes you feel like you accomplished something. While there are many DIY projects out there that can offer a sense of pride, performing tree removal isn’t the right choice. It is not always easy and can be downright dangerous for those who are inexperienced, such as yourself. It is usually better to allow the professionals to come in and handle the situation.
Tools
You probably won’t have the proper tools to do the job correctly, which means you’ll either have to purchase/rent them or use what you have and hope it works. Either way, it’s not a good idea because tools have a way of becoming weapons that can hurt you, especially if you don’t know how to use them correctly. Hand saws, chainsaws and ladders are all needed in the tree removal business, but any of them and all of them can cause severe injury if used improperly.
Hazards
Some risks are immediate and noticeable, such as hurting yourself with the tools required to do the job. Sometimes, however, limbs look okay but can break if the slightest bit of weight is added to them. Climbing trees to remove branches can be possible, but you need to be skilled at determining if it is safe. Professionals are skilled and can decide in a moment whether or not they should climb the tree. If it is deemed unsafe, they’ll use cranes or bucket trucks to remove the trees instead of putting themselves at risk for injury.
Unpredictable
Trees are very unpredictable. You may cut it exactly right, as your YouTube video shows, but it may decide to fall onto the house or vehicle instead of the other way. Even if you did cut at the right angle, miscalculating the height can cause the tree to hit something as it falls. You don’t want to damage your stuff, but you really don’t wish to ruin someone else’s.
More Problems
Performing removals of trees can cause even more problems than you can think of, so it is best to let a professional handle the problem. The process can cause damage, injury and death, and unless you are a pro and have been trained, you shouldn’t put you and others at risk.
