When is the best time to prune or take down trees by yourself?
Are you thinking of pruning or removing pieces of that tree that is overgrown in your backyard by yourself or hiring a lawnmower in Lexington Kentucky? Nobody can blame you for thinking about using a chainsaw, while dressed in flannels. Have you ever thought of being a lumberjack at some point in your life?
Lumberjacks and arborists are more on their skills than their knowledge. They are interested in knowing more about trees and safety. Before you begin trimming or sawing trees, think about the pros and disadvantages of professional tree maintenance by Lawn Worx.
SAFETY
Pruning small branches or those that are easy to reach on shrubs or small trees is a skill that can be learned, and when you are aware of what you're doing there's not a lot of risk. You can cut smaller branches and put them on the curb.
When trimming huge branches or trees the chance of the tree and yourself being injured is significantly higher.
Do you need to take care of Your OWN TREES?
If you're thinking about conducting your own tree work or asking your friends to trim or remove the tree, begin by asking yourself the following questions:
Are you fully covered under insurance?
Accidents happen, and collisions with big trees or branches of trees can result in damage to your property as well as that of your neighbor's. Being a good neighbor means thinking about how your actions might affect others, and limiting the possibility of damage and disruption. Even if you have insurance against damage to a neighbor's property the neighbor you share with would prefer to preserve their possessions in their current state.
Do you have plenty of time to spare?
Pruning trees and removing them are both laborious tasks. Pruning a large tree can take a lot of time even if you're working by yourself and taking branches down in small increments. Each time you climb or descend a tree there is a risk of getting injured. The effects of fatigue and distraction could make it more likely that you will be injured.
Tree crews are professional and work together to remove or prune trees as quickly and safely as it is feasible.
Are you an expert?
Hand-pruning large-scale trees and young trees is distinct from smaller-scale hand trimming. When you're in a tree, it can be difficult to get out of your path. You also can't look back to see your work , or even make your next cut. It is time-consuming and inefficient to climb through trees and backs down to inspect your work.
Arborists need to "read" a tree before climbing it. They are also aware of the outcomes of each pruning cut are. They are also taught to use strong and heavy tools hanging from ropes, to maneuver through the crowns of trees and complete other tasks like taking branches out.
Do you have the required equipment?
When pruning large trees or taking large branches out, you'll require special equipment. You will need to climb up to the highest branches to start. It is something that you will not be able do safely with a ladder. You will be dragged along by the ladder which is not only unable to reach all branches but is also unable to reach all.
Are you aware of the best way to manage large-scale trees that produce green waste?
Large portions of tree trunks or branches aren't the most pleasant things to have in your yard unless you cut your own firewood. If you rely on your garbage can to get rid of the volume of green waste generated by tree trimming or removal, it will be difficult. You will have to cut the pieces in a different way in order to get it to the right size and you won't be able to remove them in large quantities.
A woodchipper is a professional tree-care company that quickly cuts branches into small pieces. These are then fed into a truck bed before being removed to be used as mulch.
