Let’s take a look at some situations where it’s probably best to call a professional service rather than try to do-it-yourself.
Your Tree Is Growing Out of Control
If you have a tree that is too close to your home or your neighbor’s home for comfort, it’s time to call in a professional to have it trimmed. If heavy tree branch falls onto a building, there can be severe damage—not to mention someone could get hurt if they are in the wrong place and the wrong time. Preventive maintenance to ensure this doesn’t happen is best left to the pros.
You Don’t Have the Proper Equipment for the Job
Most homeowners don’t have all the professional equipment the tree pros have. Pole saws, clippers, handsaws, and shears are at our disposal to ensure that trees are trimmed or removed properly. If you don’t have the right tools, you can damage a tree—or you could even harm yourself while trying to do the job. Calling in a professional not only means the right equipment will be used to do the job properly, but you will also benefit from their experience and training.
You Need to Remove a Tree
Tree removal can be tricky—especially if it’s a large tree. You might think you can handle tree removal yourself, but you probably aren’t thinking about how the roots can be entangled with cables and pipes below the ground. You can easily cause a lot of damage by trying to remove a tree yourself in this situation. (Read this article to see how tree roots can actually grow into pipes, depending on what they are made of.)
Your Tree Is Close to Powerlines
You should never try to trim a tree that is growing close to powerlines by yourself. You could not only cause an electrical outage if the tree makes contact with the powerline, but you could also get electrocuted. This is never a good DIY situation; call the pros and keep yourself safe!
