Safe removal of a dead or dying tree is best left to a professional tree removal service, especially if the tree is large and close to your home or areas you don't want harmes. Homeowners who often try to remove any sized tree on their own, normally call the professionals in the end to finish the job. All sized trees should be done with care to help save any healthy and undiseased greenery nearby. The tree removal process may seem easy enough, but without the right equipment or knowledge, it could pose great risk to not only it's surroundings, but beings nearby.
Prepare a Plan of Action
Depending on the height of the tree and the size of the trunk, climbing alone might not be the safest option for tree removal. It's necessary to determine the best plan of action before going forward.
They can either climb the tree and let the tree branches and trunk pieces fall. Or they will have to lower each piece down with a rope. This all depends on the surrounding area, and the side of the limbs being taken down. Other options include useing one of our onsite bucket lifts, or even sometimes incorporating them both in the plan.
Preparing the Removal
We must always prepare the area where we will be working, including the site around the tree and the path our certified heavy equipment operator will take to haul the tree pieces after being cut.
Site preparation involves removing anything that could be damaged by falling tree pieces, including landscape features, patio furniture, potted plants, vehicles and anything else that is at risk of damage.
Also examine the area for any greenery the homeowner doesn't was harm during the removal process, and sometimes safely uprooting it without harm, to be moved to a safe place for time being.
Climbing, Cutting, Repeat
The arborist will then begin to climb the tree using the spurs and the two harness systems—a lanyard and a work-positioning system meant for safety and to help move past branches. The wear specialized boots to help move upwards the tree more easily, and always have a support rope just in case they slipped.
When the arborist reaches a branch to cut, they will unclip the chainsaw that is secured with a line in case it falls.
The arborist will cut the branch, either whole or in sections, and let the pieces fall. Otherwise, if there are obstacles on the ground, the pieces must be tied and lowered slowly to a crew on the ground.
