The Hazards of Tree Removal and Why You Should Hire a Professional

Published On: December 24th, 20212.5 min read

Did you know that each year there are more than 100 tree-related deaths in the US and countless injuries? Although workers in the tree care industry make up a number of these, many of these incidents are homeowners attempting tree removal without professional help.

If you have trees that you want removed from your property, you need professional tree removal services.

Let us look at some of the dangers you face if you try to do it on your own and the reasons you should leave it to the pros.

Dangers of Tree Removal

Falling is one of the leading causes of tree-related deaths. If you need to trim branches before removing the tree, you are putting yourself at risk of a fall. To cut branches, you will have to wield heavy tools and this means climbing up and down ladders with those tools. This makes a fall much more likely.

Another danger of tree removal is being hit by trunks or branches. As you cut the tree, there may be loose branches that may fall on you or on your property. The risk of this type of danger is much higher if the tree is already dead.

If the tree is already dead or decaying, this can pose a significant danger. You will not know how the tree will fall. Gravity is not on your side when felling a tree that is not stable.

Keep in mind that if the tree falls on your property and it was not a professional doing the work, your homeowners’ insurance will not cover the damage.

Reasons to Hire Professionals

A professional tree removal company will have the insurance necessary to provide these services without putting your home at risk. If an accident occurs, you know their insurance will cover the damage. Professionals will also have safety protocols in place to minimize risks, allowing the workers and you to be safe at all times as the work begins.

Professional tree removal services have the exact tools they need to provide efficient and affordable services. They will be able to get the job done much more quickly than you would and without requiring that you go out and purchase tools.

You can expect post-removal cleaning from professional tree removal companies. They will clear debris and even remove the entire tree if that is what you prefer. They will inspect the yard for any concerns, providing advice on how to best maintain it, and they will remove rodents or other pests that the felled tree might have dislodged.

Professionals will know how to remove a tree without damaging nearby plants. Falling branches and debris can wreak havoc on your yard, but experts will be able to mitigate the damage and protect other trees and plants.

Great team and very professional, they efficiently took down some large older trees that were dying and hanging over my house and in very difficult positions while also requiring them to manage traffic, I will definitely use them again in the future

I would give 6 Stars if I could. This is the third time I've used Justin and his crew of Arbortech. He and his crew go above and beyond in the services they provide. They do all, and then some, of what I contracted them to do. His crew is personable, professional, and tidy. They left my place cleaner than when they got here. Can't say enough. Use them. You won't be disappointed.

Arbor tech and their crew were amazing!!! Not only did I not have to wait a long time to schedule the work, but they also came on time the day of. The crew were friendly, professional and helpful. They went above and beyond what I expected them to do. They even cleaned up afterwards as if they weren’t even there. The price I was quoted was reasonable and they did not charge more than was quoted. The whole experience was fantastic. I will be using them in the future. I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed.

All aspects of our experience with Arbortech were beyond expectation (5+ stars at all levels). From the scheduling process and ongoing coordination and discussions with Lindsey to the onsite discussions with Justin, and finally with the crew while the work was being done, we couldn't be happier. They listened, they provided insight to our project while remaining very sensitive to our privacy concerns with the trimming of our pines. In an evolving world where a lot of customer care seems to have vanished, we are grateful we found a company where it seems to be a core component of their values. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

From start to finish our experience with Arbortech was wonderful! Lindsey was extremely responsive and worked with us to set up both the estimate and schedule the work. She even communicated with our neighbor to coordinate the timing as we needed to use their driveway for the job. Justin came promptly to look at our trees, explained our options in a very clear an professional way, and gave us an extremely fair estimate. The guys who came and did the work did a really great job and cleaned up everything afterwards, so we (and our neighbor) were very happy. They were also very friendly and gracious even though they were working during a crazy heat wave- they appreciated the popsicles I gave them! I highly recommend Arbortech Tree Service!
