There are a lot of things that you add to your DIY list, but trying to remove a tree from your own property shouldn’t be one of them. Regardless of the size of the tree, any removal process takes planning, precision, and experience.
If you’re thinking that “removing a tree from your property will be quick and easy”, carefully consider these key points, and it’s easy to see why it’s sensible not to undertake this task for yourself.
How long does it take?
Removing a tree isn’t as simple as attacking it with a chainsaw and hoping for the best. Tree removal requires a large amount of planning, preparation and precision to ensure that the whole process is done safely and effectively. As professional arborists, we can remove a tree promptly. However, if you have never removed a tree from your property before or lack the appropriate experience in tree removal, it’s likely to be a long-winded process.
Am I prepared to pay for the range of necessary equipment?
Do you have the correct equipment required to remove a tree in your back shed? Have you considered the height of the tree, the protective equipment that’s required or the tools you’ll need? Chances are, unless you’re an arborist or know an arborist, you don’t have easy access to the operational and safety equipment that is required for tree removal.
Without the proper professional industry-grade tools, your personal maintenance equipment that you may have at home will most likely burn out if used to attempt to remove a tree. Hiring the correct equipment such as the correct chainsaw, protective gear and tools to help you reach the highest parts of the tree cost a lot of money.
Tree removal can be dangerous!
There are a number of occupational health and safety risks that come with removing a tree. Aside from the obvious working from heights risk, there is also a number of variables regarding the tree itself. Once the tree you’re removing begins to fall, there can sometimes be very little control as to which direction it goes. Without the appropriate skills and experience, it is easy to make mistakes which can result in a tree falling on a nearby car, power lines, your home, other structures or even people.
What are my options if I am considering tree removal?
There are a number of different reasons why you might want to remove a tree from your property, but in many cases destroying the tree isn’t the only way to get it removed. At the Arbor Centre, we are regularly looking to salvage various trees and palms. We transplant these for specific purposes into projects both now and in the future. If you have questions about whether you’re your tree or palm might be a candidate for transplanting, fill in our online contact form and one of our staff members will be in contact with you.
