Two Reasons Why Tree Removals Need to Be Done by Professionals
Do you have some trees in your yard that need to be removed? Here are two reasons why tree removals should always be done by professionals.
Tree removals carried out by arborists will be done faster
Most people who need trees removed from their properties need this work to be done for a specific, time-sensitive reason. They might, for example, need to have a tree removed so they can build a new structure in its current location or because it's sustained storm damage, is unstable and needs to be felled as it's a safety hazard. With this in mind, one reason why the removal of a tree should be done by a professional is that they're likely to remove it far more quickly than an untrained person could.
This is partly due to an arborist's skills and their knowledge of tree removal work, which enable them to avoid making errors that novices may make (such as, for instance, creating the all-important notch in the trunk, which determines where the trunk will fall, in the wrong section of the trunk and then having to make a new notch). An arborist's training also allows them to work quickly, even in challenging conditions (such as after rainfall, when the tree is wet, slippery and therefore hard to climb). It is also because arborists have commercial-grade chainsaws that the average person probably doesn't; this type of professional chainsaw is very powerful and can slice through even the thickest of tree branches very quickly.
Tree removals done incorrectly could lead to the trees growing back
Another reason why tree removals need to be done by professionals is that if carried out incorrectly, this process may result in the trees growing back. An untrained person might, for example, mistakenly think if they remove the vast majority of the tree trunk and its branches, and leave just the small stump behind, that this is the end of the tree removal work. In reality, to guarantee that the tree will never grow back, the stump and the tree roots also need to be fully removed; this is because given the right environmental conditions, the tree could regrow from this stump. Even if an untrained person is aware of this possibility, they might struggle to handle the removal of the tree stump and roots, as this usually requires a stump grinder and the training needed to use this machinery.
An arborist would never make the error of leaving a stump behind if their client told them they wanted the tree permanently and fully removed. Furthermore, they would also have access to a commercial stump grinder and have the knowledge needed to use it in a safe and effective way.
