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.

I needed to have a large Norway maple tree removed and wanted to get at least three estimates. Eric's tree service came out and gave me a somewhat reasonable quote of $3500, then a week later before I had gotten another estimate from a different company Eric's tree service texted me and said they'd be in the area the following week, I called them and they said they had to revisit the estimate. They came back out continued to tell me her personal problems and that my neighbor would have to move his trailer. She then sent me a new quote of $7231!!! I called Arbortech and Justin came over on the day scheduled and was my most reasonable quote! He also said my neighbor wouldn't need to move his trailer. Justin and his crew arrived on time and did a phenomenal job!! They are true professionals! They cleaned up everything. They had had to remove a fence panel and when they put it back it was more secure than it had been when it had been originally installed. Justin's quote was $4700 less than Eric's! This experience with Arbortech was purely positive I highly recommend this company! Thank you Justin, Lindsey and the rest of the crew, you guys rock!!

The service I received from everyone at Arbortech for a tree removal was absolutely wonderful. Any questions and concerns I had were answered and reassured. Justin and Lindsey were both so helpful and the value I paid for this service was outstanding. Super reasonable, and I would recommend Arbortech to anyone in need of any tree service. Super grateful and happy. If I could figure out how to add pictures to my review, I would. They did an incredible job with not just the tree removal itself, but also with a brush pile I also had taken care of. Again, highly recommend Arbortech for anyone who is in need of any type of tree service. Couldn’t be more pleased!

We spoke with Lindsey via phone after sending her pictures of an ornamental tree we thought was in distress. She was able to tell us what it was & how to address the problem...right over the phone! She was very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely call/hire for any future problems.

Seven difficult to access trees cut down in one day. All debris was removed and the yard was left in great condition. I have used Arbortech in the past and will continue to use them whenever I need work done with the trees.

Extremely friendly, responsive and willing to work with you. We went with Justin because in the short time we met him, he showed a real passion and knowledge for tree grooming. We have a weeping maple that was seriously neglected for over a decade. It was growing into itself and unable to properly expand. Justin immediately caught the core issues with it and trimmed it into a beautiful manageable condition. He was fast, efficient and showed a real care in the detail work. Would absolutely recommend Arbortech to anyone in need of tree work!

We had Justin and his crew remove several trees that were overgrown and had potential to fall near our home. They were on time, efficient and left our yard spotless. I would highly recommend Arbortech if you are looking for a professional tree expert!
