Trees, whether large or small, can provide a landscape with much needed ecological variety, aesthetic beauty, shade, and so much more. When they are properly cared for, most species of trees will remain healthy for many decades. However, there is no preventing the occasional accident or disease from claiming even the best maintained tree. When a tree is nearing the end of its anticipated lifespan, or when it simply needs to be removed to make room for other landscaping features, it’s time for property owners to call in a specialist for Tree Removal in Queens County NY.
Property owners who are thinking it might be easier to simply go out to buy a chainsaw and take care of the job themselves should be strongly urged to reconsider. Taking down a full-sized tree is hard, and dangerous, work. Tree service companies employ only skilled laborers with experience using chainsaws and other potentially dangerous equipment. They are also required, in most cases, to carry insurance. The very high potential for personal injury to inexperienced property owners attempting to remove trees themselves should be reason enough to call a professional. Any money that could be saved through doing the job without training is not worth the risk of a visit to the hospital, or worse.
Ensuring personal safety is not, however, the only advantage of hiring a professional for tree removal in Queens County NY. Limbing, cutting, and safely taking down the tree is only part of the process of restoring the property to its former beauty. The stump must also be removed, requiring further tools, experience, and hard labor. Typically it will then be ground using a stump grinder, yet another piece of expensive equipment not available to the average property owner. The trunk and branches of the tree must be either removed from the property or left to cure if intended for use as firewood.
If the tree has been removed due to disease or damage, it will likely need to be replaced with a new, healthy specimen. A tree care specialist can perform all of these arduous tasks, many of which are beyond the knowledge or experience of almost all homeowners. Simply put, attempting the job as an amateur is worth neither the risk nor the effort. Contact us for more information.
