The dangers of DIY Tree Removal

There is no doubt that for many people, their first instinct if they need their tree removed is to try and remove it for themselves.

.. After all, how hard can it be?

In reality, DIY tree removal and tree pruning can be incredibly dangerous. The dangers of trying to remove a tree yourself are all too real, and very common. 

Why DIY Tree Removal can be dangerous.

A lot of things can go wrong when you try to remove a tree yourself. If you’re not a professional arborist, it can be very difficult to determine where the tree is going to fall when you cut it down. 

Removing a tree yourself can not only result in damage to surrounding buildings and powerlines, but it could cause injury or death to yourself and family. It’s also common that fallen branches can cause injury if you are not using correct safety gear, harness and ropes.
