When a tree gets too big and either becomes a hazard or takes up too much space, a professional tree removal company can remove it. Before they come out, take the time to prepare so nothing gets in the way of getting the job done. Here are three steps you should take ahead of having trees removed.

How to Ready Your Property for Tree Removal

1. Clear Around the Tree

A yard becomes a busy place during tree removal. The team has to go backward and forward between their vehicles and the tree many times during the process. If they have to walk around the side of a building, make sure the route is clear. If you can provide direct access to the tree, even better.

Additionally, if you have pets, make sure the yard is free of any pet messes. Removal teams run ropes, wires, and rigging gear along the ground, and certain substances can contaminate their equipment, which will delay or even stop the job altogether.

2. Make Room for Tree Removal Vehicles

A tree removal crew will need two or three parking spaces in front of your property to allow for their truck and chipper. It’s usually the client’s responsibility to reserve parking, so speak with your neighbors beforehand if it will infringe on their property or parking space. You must also make sure there are no cars or vehicles beneath the trees coming down, as falling debris could cause damage. The closer to the area the team can park, the quicker and easier it will be.

3. Remove All Breakables

While the team does their best to be tidy, tree debris can land far and wide. You should move anything you don’t want to be damaged out of harm’s way, including garden furniture, children’s toys, flower pots, and ornaments. Some tree removal companies offer to move these items as a service. They charge extra for it, but if it’s a more convenient solution for you, remember to ask about it when you schedule your services. For their safety, pets will also need to stay out of the way during work.
