Tree and shrub removal can be dangerous, but it is sometimes essential for the safety of your property and family members. Hiring a full tree service to remove a tree from your yard can save you from personal injury and spare your property from damage. Here are three tips to prepare for having a tree removed.

Preparing to Have Trees Removed

1. Clear the Area of Personal Property

Inspect your grounds carefully and clear away possessions. A full tree service requires an extensive amount of space for their equipment and vehicles. Tree removal is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. The more space that you give the tree removers, the easier it will be to complete the job. Hoisting a large limb from one place to another is best accomplished with no impediments, so consider moving potted plants, lawn furniture, bicycles, and other gear to a shed or into the garage.

2. Make Your Driveway Available

If you usually park your cars in the driveway, leave that space free on the day your full tree service is expected. The tree removal team may need it for a wood chipper or truck, especially if the tree being removed is located in your backyard.

3. Check Your Property Lines

Before having a tree removed, assess the impact of the removal on your neighbors. Consider the reach of the tree’s branches and the potential for dropped limbs. Before the removal work starts, discuss plans for safeguarding neighbors’ fences, garages, homes, and yards with your full tree service.
