Tree cutting services

Homeowners choose to remove dead trees for a variety of reasons including aesthetics and safety precautions. Not only do unstable trees pose a hazard, but they cause costly property damage and loss of life when left unattended. Additionally, trees can lead to legal concerns if a tree on your property causes damage to a neighbor’s property.

How Do I Know If My Tree Needs To Be Removed?

Death can occur because of weather, insects, or nutrient and water deficits. Indicators of a dead tree include falling branches, decaying bark, and unstable roots. Professional arborists often assess the condition of trees to establish if they require treatment or removal. Some environmentally friendly municipalities also have strict protocols for tree removal that requires an arborist’s declaration of the state of the tree before extraction.  If you are unable to determine the status of your tree, you should consider hiring a professional who can evaluate the best outcome based on your circumstances.

Do I Need To Hire a Professional Tree Removal Service?

Often, trees grow near power lines, fences, roofs, or streets which require many precautions to remove them. Felling a tree is not as simple a process as it seems. One misstep can lead to immediate repercussions that no homeowner wants to experience.
​
Some homeowners with tree removal knowledge choose to save money by removing trees themselves. The process, however, is not safe or straightforward for anyone who lacks advanced removal knowledge. Homeowners can accomplish smaller jobs alone, but DIY projects of more massive trees should not happen because of the dangers of falling limbs or improper cutting technique. Moreover, the task may require extra precautions like ropes or cranes which most homeowners do not have on hand.

Costs?

There are multiple diseases and pesky bugs that can cause tree limbs to decay. Weather fractures, fungi-damaged limbs, and cracked wood can all affect the cost of trimming.

If you have branches growing on your power lines, you merely need to call your utility company which will remove them at no cost to you. For any other reason, you will need to either do it yourself or hire a tree trimming service provider. DIY projects cost around $50 mainly for tools or gas if you need to remove debris. 
​
Tree trimming providers analyze a few factors to estimate the cost of service. Most companies charge an hourly rate. The median charge nationally is $200.00, but you should expect to pay between $75.00 and $1000.00 depending on the complexity of the job.
