The Steps Experts Take Before Beginning a Tree Felling Service

by | Jan 12, 2017 | Tree Services

Tree Felling is a dangerous task that requires professional training and the right equipment to do safely. Homeowners with damaged or dying trees need to consider using these services to protect their homes and families. If not done correctly there is the risk that landscaping, other healthy nearby trees and utility lines could be lost. Tree removal is not a fast process. It takes a lot of planning to do it correctly and an enormous amount of effort to remove the debris.

  • The area needs to be surveyed to determine where the tree can land without creating any damage. The height of the tree, the slope of the land and many other factors factor into this decision.
  • The crew must make note of nearby utility lines and determine if contacting the utility company to have someone on standby for disconnection is necessary.
  • The amount of space between the tree and property is considered. Falling trees have a certain level of unpredictability even when professionals are performing the removal. A tree can split when it hits the ground and the pieces could scatter. The tree removal service must make certain buildings are safe as well as determine if it is necessary to move any lawn furnishings, vehicles or other items.
  • Creating a removal plan includes discussing with the property owner what wood, if any, they want to keep. Cutting, chipping and removing all of the debris is a tedious and time consuming task. A mature, hardwood tree can weigh as much as 50 tons. A smaller pine that is only 10-15 feet tall could weigh 500 pounds or more.

Tree Felling is only one small step in the process. After cutting and removing the debris there will still be a stump left in the ground. Grinding and removing the stump requires additional equipment and another clean up. Once completed the landowner must then decide how to fill in the large hole in their landscaping. Renting equipment and attempting this lengthy and dangerous process alone is not something many homeowners enjoy. Instead, contact Jose Martinez Tree Service Inc. to have it all professionally completed. It is a safe option that is much more efficient with experienced help than when homeowners do the work on their own. You can also connect them on Facebook.
