Why Tree Removal Isn’t a DIY Job
When it comes to lawn and tree care most experts will agree that tree removal, including comparatively ‘simple’ jobs like trimming back large branches, is a job best left to professionals. Stories abound about property damage, injuries, and even deaths resulting from individuals attempting to remove large trees or heavy branches from their property without any professional help.
Large trees or massive branches can cause a great deal of damage if mishandled or cut incorrectly. They’ve crushed cars, smashed porches, leveled fences and punched through roofs. Attempting a job like this when you haven’t been trained for it and lack the proper tools, ropes, saws, and other equipment can easily result in these kinds of damages to your property. Misjudging the angle and pinch cutting your saw are common mistakes that DIY-ers make and the results can often be disastrous.
In addition to the potential for property damage, there is a definite risk of personal injury involved with attempting to remove large trees from your lawn on your own. Removing large branches or trees is a very different job than chopping up firewood or trimming back smaller plants and many people can feel that the cost of having professional tree removal is too high when they could do the work themselves, but when you step back and consider all the risks involved with attempting to handle the job yourself, the cost of hiring a professional is well worth it.
