DANGERS OF DIY TREE REMOVAL

Here at Same Day Trees & Palms, we’ve heard our fair share of horror stories involving property owners who have attempted to remove trees themselves. The fact of the matter is that tree removal is far more complicated than most people might think. There is a lot of prep work and safety procedures that go into a tree removal to ensure that it is completed properly and safely.

Read below as we investigate some of the many dangers involved in DIY tree removal and why you should always seek the help of a professional.

Personal Safety:

The number one reason why it isn’t recommended to attempt your own tree removal is because it can be extremely dangerous. Professional arborists are specially trained in the correct ways to remove a tree so that it is conducted safely at all times. If someone who has not received professional training in tree removal attempts to cut down a tree, particularly if the tree is large, it could fall on them or someone else nearby and result in serious injury.

Correct Equipment:

A proper tree removal should be carried out using professional equipment. Most people won’t own the correct equipment required to cut down a tree effectively and safely. Equipment such as chainsaws, ladders, protective equipment and axes can also be pricey to purchase. A professional arborist team like the experts at Same Day Trees & Palms will already have the equipment ready to go, including all the safety equipment to ensure the removal is completed without any dramas.

Council Approval:

You generally can’t go out and chop down a tree in your yard just because you want to. You will first require council approval. Each region will usually have their own regulations in place when it comes to tree removal. Most councils will require you to have a legitimate reason for removing a tree, this could include a dangerous or dying tree. If you’re unsure about the regulations in your area, it’s best to contact a tree removal expert that will provide you with the most accurate information. The team at Same Day Trees & Palms will always provide you with reliable advice in regards to council regulations.

For a safe and efficient tree removal, we recommend that you always contact a qualified and experienced professional. For all your tree removal needs or to arrange your obligation-free quote, be sure to get in touch with our team today.
