There are several reasons why a tree would need to be cut down.\u00a0 From manufacturing to disease, trees need to removed, sometimes.\u00a0 When this happens, professional tree removal technicians use a particular process to safely remove trees without harming the surrounding environment or another person.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Tree Removal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The first task to check of the tree removal to-do list is to\nconduct an initial inspection. This involves inspecting the entire surrounding\nenvironment, as well as, the tree itself. The tree care technician is basically\nlooking for any obstacles that may interfere with the removal process, or\npossible structures nearby that can become damaged by a fallen tree. They also\nlook for signs of tree diseases, deterioration, and corrosion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can help them determine the degree of difficulty and hazard associated with the tree removal job. During this same step, the technician will also observe the lean of the tree. The direction that a tree naturally leans is most likely the same direction it will fall to the ground when cut down. \u00a0They will put together multiple alternatives for emergencies, unexpected falls, or if the tree falls the other way. It is extremely advantageous to pre-plan escape routes such as these when taking down large trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cutting the Tree Down<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The size of the tree will generally determine the type of\ntools and equipment needed for the job. For larger trees, heavy duty chainsaws\nand electrical tree cutters are popular and effective choices; while for\nsmaller trees, a basic hand saw works just fine. Once this is figured out, the\ntechnician can begin to make the initial cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A tree tech will apply two small cuts into certain sections\nof the tree trunk to force the tree to fall in a particular direction. An undercut is a 90 degree V-shaped cut that\nis administered to the side of the tree that should lead the fall. At times, a\ntechnician will choose to do something called a back cut that helps relieve\ntension that may be preventing a fall. \nThis is applied to the back side of the tree, opposite of the undercut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next Comes Stump Removal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
In many tree removal jobs, large branches are cut out first,\nthen the tree is taken down, and you are left with a tree stump. At this point\na property owner or technician has a few options. The first option is to dig the stump up from\nthe ground. This can be very time consuming and hard labor but is the most\neffective strategy for stubborn roots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helpful tools to use for stump removal include sharp spades,\npruning saws, or pricks. Another option is that requires less labor is to use\nchemicals to speed up decomposition. Holes are drilling into the tops and the\nchemicals are poured in. It is as simple\nas that. This is an easy option, but not\nan overnight solution. The decomposition takes some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
