Why Use A Tree Company Rather Than DIY?
Arborists or Tree Surgeons engage in tree removal, stump grinding, tree trimming, and much more.
Very few of these tasks can be done by a homeowner even if they have some of the necessary tools and are best entrusted to certified experts that can do the job securely. A mishap lowering a tree could in fact, cause serious injury or even death.
Please leave it to the tree specialists!
A property owner can trim trees when they are quite small. Dead, damaged and split branches should certainly be gotten rid of from the tree. When pruning a tree, trimming cuts require to never ever go beyond greater than 25% of the live cover of the tree.
There are 4 types of tree trimming:
1) crown cleaning up includes pruning dead or unhealthy branches from a tree canopy.
2) crown raising removes the lower branches to give clearance for people of lawn mowers
3) crown reduction is where tree limbs and branches are cleared from electrical wiring, signage and buildings
4) crown thinning is the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown of the tree.
As much as the house owner might want to save their trees, removal may be required eventually due to disease or lightning strike for example.
Tree elimination can be exceptionally dangerous if it is close to a residence, a high tension power line, or a street. Even when a fairly smaller tree can be lowered, it is still dangerous for the householder.
There are many things that could go wrong if you attempt a tree removal on your own.
Chain saws are powerful pieces of equipment that could cause great injury in the wrong hands.
