The day when one or more trees will be removed from your yard is approaching. When done professionally, the procedure is extensive and follows several important steps. Preparation is essential to protect you and other individuals from injuries and to also protect your home and vehicles from property damage. The following guide highlights what you can expect from a professional tree removal service. 

What Happens During a Tree Removal?

While the procedure will depend on the tree size and its location, most tree removals follow a similar pattern. Cutting the trunk in the direction it needs to fall is typically done first. Depending on the amount of surrounding space, the tree can be removed in one piece. After the cutting process, the tree is then cut down into smaller pieces of wood. When power lines, buildings, or other structures are close to the tree, the top branches are cut off first. The tree removal technician will then work their way down and, if needed, secure branches with durable rope to prevent contact with power lines and nearby structures. The branches are then cut into smaller pieces.

What Is Done With Leftover Tree Debris?

In some cases, the tree trunk will be among the remaining debris. Prior arrangements can be made to have it completely removed or ground down to a smaller stump. Home and business owners can also arrange to keep the cut wood or have it removed from the property. According to your preference, you can ask the tree removal company to clean up remaining leaves, twigs, and small branches or you can take on the task personally. 

How Can You Prepare for a Tree Removal?

Be sure to clear the space where the tree is located, so that the tree removal technicians have easy access. This includes parking vehicles away from the site to leave ample room for the company’s truck and grinder equipment. Patio furniture, potted plants, and other items in the area should also be removed to prevent damage. If you are a pet owner or have small children, make prior arrangements to keep them inside or away from the property.
