Expert Tree Removal & Land and Lot Clearing SERVICES in Columbus, granville, newark, and new albany, OH

Tree care work can be hazardous, but tree removal is especially dangerous. Successfully felling a tree requires knowledge of tree physics, biology, dangerous tools, advanced cutting techniques, and more. When homeowners attempt tree removal on their own often injuries result whether by malfunctioning equipment, falling limbs, or the tree itself. Tree removal is not a "do it yourself" job and requires professional help.

• POWER LINES. Working near power lines is always dangerous. Always assume that the wires are live. Improper care can lead to knocking out the power in your neighborhood, electrocution, severe burns, and even death. Despite what many homeowners believe the black coating on a power line is weather-proofing for the metal cable. You can still get the shock of a lifetime!

• IMPROPER EQUIPMENT. Tree removal professionals are required by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) to wear protective gear from head to toe. Tree care professionals are also trained in using equipment such as ropes, cranes, chain saws, and wood chippers to safely fell and dispose of a tree. Most homeowners do not have this equipment – and the required expertise – to successfully and safely perform tree removal. You can expose yourself to unnecessary risk!

• DECAYING WOOD. A dead or dying tree is often decaying from the inside out, making it extremely unstable. Even professionals sometimes use cranes to remove such deadwood. If you think your tree is starting to decay, find a professional to remove it before it collapses without warning.  When removing decayed trees, it is critical to understand tree biology processes, so professional expertise is always necessary! 

• GRAVITY. When a tree starts falling, you have zero control over where it falls.  Even if you try to influence it with carefully cut indentations or ropes, it also may not fall the way you expect it to. Lack of knowledge, proper equipment, and poor judgment can result in the tree falling on power lines, cars, homes, or people!
