How Does Tree Removal Work?

Safe tree removal services are an involved process. To remove a tree safely, our specialists must follow a set of guidelines to ensure no property is damaged or people injured. Our process includes:

• Clearing the area: All potential obstructions must be removed. We’ll request you remove any cars or personal property in the tree’s descent path. We want to make sure you and your family are safe. Once we’ve cleared the area around the tree, we move to the next step.
• Examining the tree: Before we make any cuts, we examine the tree to make sure there are no hazards. Our tree specialists know what to look for. This process lets them determine how best to cut into the tree.
• Start the undercut: After the examination, we start the v-shaped undercut beginning with a 45-degree angle incision at the bottom of the side we want the tree to fall to. After that, we perform the back cut, which is made to the opposite side. Once we’ve done both cuts, the tree is ready to topple.

Can I Keep the Firewood from the Downed Tree?

Yes. However, there are some things to keep in mind. First, freshly-cut wood is roughly 80 percent water and must be dried to around 20 to 25 percent moisture content before it can be burned indoors. Improperly-dried firewood exudes too much creosote, a highly-combustible substance that poses a fire hazard if not properly contained.

Can I Legally Remove the Tree in Question?

First of all, you must own the property a tree sits on to remove it. In many cases, you don’t need a permit to remove a tree from your property. However, there are some circumstances where property owners must secure a permit.

Homeowners association requirements: Check with your neighborhood’s bylaws. Some planned communities require special permissions for any tree removal.

Heritage tree removal: We can help determine whether the tree in question is a heritage tree, which refers to a rare species, as well as exceptionally-sized, shaped, and aged trees.
