Is Removing a Small Tree a Job For Professionals?

When most homeowners think of tree removal, they think of trees that are decades old or trees that came with the house they bought. When looking at old tall trees, tree removal companies seem like the only option. There is no way for homeowners to safely fell it without causing damage or injury. However, removal isn’t limited to seemingly ancient trees. In fact, there are some rather young trees that a homeowner may look at and think, “I can do that.”

In truth, if it is still a relative sapling, then yes, homeowner can take care of that themselves. However, there is that awkward phase where a tree is too big to handle, but doesn’t look too big to some. These should still be left to a professional.

When a tree is removed, typically major branches are taken off and then the trunk is cut certain ways depending on what space allows. This might seem completely manageable, but a lot goes into doing this safely. Not only do removal companies have the proper tools to remove a tree, but they know how to drop branches safely and how to do so in the space provided. Even if there is a clear space for a tree to be cut down in one piece, it is also important to have the knowledge of how to get it to fall in the right direction.

Unlike what many homeowners may think, cutting down a tree is never as simple as just cutting a straight line at the bottom of the trunk. This is why even small trees need to be left to professionals. Not only does it get cut down safely, but cutting down a small tree before it become large and unmanageable is often pretty affordable as well.
