Trees are beautiful but can sometimes become infected or grow too large causing property damage or injury concerns. Professional tree removal services will be required in these situations, and this guide will tell you what to expect.
Considerations:
The size of your tree will affect how the removal will take place, as will the tree’s location. A tree that stands alone far from your house or any structures will be much easier to remove than one right next to your home or near power lines.
In terms of cost, this aspect will depend on the size of the tree and how hard it is to remove. Additional charges may apply if you want the stump removed or ground down to prevent it from protruding.
Tree Removal Methods
There are two main methods for tree removal, and if the tree has enough space, it may be possible to cut it down in one piece.
The trunk will be cut from the direction it needs to fall, and once the tree falls to the ground, it will be cut into smaller pieces. If the tree is too close to structures or power lines, a different method will be required. The tree may need to be scaled, with the branches individually cut from the top down. Depending on the tree’s condition and surroundings, they may be secured with ropes to ensure they do not fall onto power lines or buildings.
The tree will be cut down to a low stump for a typical removal process, and the branches will either be cut into regular pieces for use as firewood or removed, depending on your preference.
You can remove the tree entirely to get rid of the stump or have it ground down until it is no longer visible. Stump removal requires more work, and additional charges may apply. Many companies do not include cleanup services, but at Four Season Tree Services, it is our priority.
How to Prepare for a Tree Removal Service
Preparing your property in advance: This will help make the process simple and straightforward. Start by making room for the vehicles, as there is typically a lot of equipment involved when you hire a professional for tree removal services.
The team will need to park the vehicles—the closer to your property, the better. This way, they will be able to easily access the wood chipper, truck, and any other necessary tools and equipment.
You should also clear access to the tree: Workers will need to travel from their truck to the tree multiple times, and a clear route helps ensure crew safety.
Remove anything breakable from the area: If you have pots or furniture close to the tree, move them out of the way to prevent damage.
We highly recommend you first schedule a consultation with our tree removal company to assess your needs accurately. State your requirements clearly, and we’ll come to the site for inspection.
