After a tree gets too old or starts visibly deteriorating due to certain circumstances, there really are few other options than to hire a professional to remove it. However, while arborist do mostly remove trees, there are other services that could also be considered, and other ways that the issue may be tackled. Of course, should the other options fail, the tree can still be removed and the problem will be solved either way.
While most people can presume what the tree felling and removal service that a lot of tree care companies provide is about just by the name, there are quite a few aspects of the service that they don’t know about. To be honest, a lot of people may even think that the arborist are nothing more than over-glorified lumberjacks, when in fact they are professionals with a lot of experience that are capable of taking care of your problem without much effort. They also have enough skill to handle all of the specialized equipment with such precision that they can make using such dangerous tools look like child’s play.
The first step in the process, and arguably the most vital part of the job is the inspection of the tree itself. While some trees are so damaged that an assessment can be made simply by their outside appearance, others need a bit more time and specialized equipment to diagnose properly. After the tree surgeon has found out all he needs to know, he will explain to you what your options are and will give his opinion on what the best course of action would be. Generally, if most trees seem far too damaged, removal is really the best option. If you come to a disagreement and don’t like the options that are open to you, keep in mind that the arborist has done this before and if he tells you there’s no other way, then there’s no other way.
After a concrete plan has been made and the tree felling and removal service is on its way, there are certain preparations that need to be made. These preparations include a lot of paperwork that needs to be filled out, but luckily that is part of the service. Another part of the standard service is traffic management to make sure that no one gets hurt and no incidents occur. After that, the tree is simply taken care of by the professionals and made safe again. Once the job is finished, a crew will also stay behind and clean up after the mess, meaning that this is a complete service with all the perks.
