What's that saying about "if a tree falls in the woods and no ones around to hear it - does it still make a sound"?


Well, when you don't live in the woods and a tree falls or is about to fall - you can bet there will be some noise as well as a giant headache!


Basic tree removal is not a huge deal when it comes to taking care of small trees and shrubs on your property. However, taking care of emergency tree removal issues can be a nightmare if you try to tackle the task yourself.


There are a number of reasons why you should allow a team of professionals to help you successfully, and carefully, remove any burdensome trees from your property.


Take a look at these top 5 reasons why tree removal should be left to a team of experts.


Reasons To Leave Emergency Tree Removal To The Professionals
SafetyProbably the most important reason why tree services and removal should be left to a team of experts is due to safety.


Many homeowners that are relatively familiar with using their chainsaws and pole saws think they can tackle any and every tree on their own. However, this is when the biggest accidents can happen.


Professional tree and lawn companies know exactly how to prepare for a number of different situations and issues that could arise.


Surrounding Area
There are plenty of times when we've probably taken a look at our trees and thought we could easily handle the trimming or removal process. Then we actually start the project and realize that we are overwhelmed with how to get these trees down and removed.


When trimming or cutting a tree, especially one that could really benefit from emergency tree removal services, the location of the tree is a huge factor to consider.


If we cut a tree in the wrong place it can fall to the wrong side. Making a mistake like this could result in quite a bit of damage to your property or your neighbor's property. Even worse, you could cause serious harm to anyone on the wrong side of that tree.


Hiring an expert to take care of any emergency tree removal needs eliminates this potential hazard. Knowing exactly where a tree will fall and ensuring that it falls in that specific direction is best kept to trained professionals.


Also, you want to make sure that you aren't removing a tree that requires a permit for removal or a tree that is locally protected in your state and your geographic location.


Expertise
If you spring a leak in your home you don't typically call an electrician. If you are like many people, you assess the situation and if warranted, you call a plumber to help fix the issue.


The same applies for an emergency tree removal situation. If you have a tree that is a potential threat or danger, you call for the professionals. Large, imposing trees can turn incredibly dangerous in an instant, especially during wind storms or even large amounts of rain.


Make sure to ask around and do some research before settling on a tree or lawn service. If you have a downed tree or a tree that's about to fall, get some quotes from companies that have great word-of-mouth recommendations.


A great place to start is via the web. Google and HomeAdvisor reviews tend to be the most popular, but simply searching "tree removal company reviews near me" can provide a wealth of knowledge to help you make a good decision.


Equipment
Most homeowners don't have the necessary equipment to correctly remove a tree from their property. In fact, most of the time we don't have enough room in our yards even cut down a tree without doing some kind of damage.


Professional tree companies and lawn maintenance companies have the equipment to cater to a ton of different tree situations. They have the heavy duty chainsaws, pole saws, and even those crane lift buckets.


Also, these types of companies have professional climbers that do exactly what their name implies - they climb. Working with an expert team, professional tree companies can bring down a 100+ foot tree with ease finesses.


Insurance
Very few insurance companies cover a DIY approach to emergency tree removal.


If you have a huge tree that you try to tackle with an electric chainsaw and it comes crashing through your front window, you'll probably be left with a hefty bill. Not only will you need to pay for whatever damage your lacking tree removal skills may have caused, but you'll probably have to pay for a professional tree company to fix the situation.


If you are looking for a tree company to remove trees from your property, make sure they are insured. This way, if a tree comes crashing down and causes some damage along the way, you will not be stuck with the bill. A fully licensed and insured tree company is the absolute best safeguard in a potential emergency tree removal situation.


Down To The Cut
Whether you need some smaller trees or shrubs taken care of on your property, or you have massive imposing trees that seem to be a threat to your family or your home - consider calling in some qualified professionals.


If you have a situation that validates the need for emergency tree removal, please do not try to take care of the situation yourself. Trees are bigger than they look and when they fall - they can create massive damage.


Not sure if you have any trees that are about to create some drama on your property?
A great idea is to have a professional tree company come take a look. Most companies or services will gladly come to your home and give a free estimate. Plus, they'll walk your property and help you assess which trees may need to be removed as well as which may just need to be trimmed or pruned.
​

Just because hardware stores and Amazon have some great deals on chainsaws doesn't mean that you should try to tackle an emergency tree removal situation.
Leave it to the professionals to chop that tree!
