How Difficult Is It To Remove A Tree Close To My House?

Are you bothered by a dying tree that’s a little to close for comfort and you need information on how difficult it is to remove the tree close to the house? The sadness that comes with a sick and dying tree is heartbreaking, and the pain worsens with the challenges involved in removing it. Here’s what the tree care experts have to say about safely removing a tree when it’s growing too close to home.

How to tell if a tree is failing
Before you think about taking out a tree, it’s essential to determine if removing the tree is the best option. Certified arborists recommend that you take out a tree if it is causing (1) foundation damage, (2) sewage and water pipe infiltration, and (3) roof damage. Of course, dying and severely damaged trees are also removal candidates.

It’s always beneficial to consult with a certified arborist if you’re unsure about a tree. Certified arborists are highly trained professionals who specialize in all aspects of tree care. Top tree care service companies have certified arborists on staff to help determine when it’s necessary to remove a tree.

How hard is it to cut down a tree near your house
Taking down a tree that’s practically up against your home takes planning and skill to perform the removal safely. Cutting down any tree takes skill, and the challenge gets greater when the tree is close to your house because you’ll have less room to maneuver and you could severely damage the structure if you miscalculate how the tree might fall.

Did you know that thousands of people end up seriously injured from tree cutting accidents each year? Indeed, tree cutting is considered one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Most of the injuries stem from (1) falling limbs, (2) ladder falls, (3) chainsaw accidents, and (4) electrocution.

So, unless you’re handy with a chainsaw and have experience in tree maintenance, it’s a safe idea to hire a professional tree care company to cut down your tree. A reputable company will take down the tree and dispose of the tree debris at a reasonable price.
