Emergency Tree Removal Precautions and Tips
Tree removal requires the expertise of a trained and experienced arborist with specialized equipment. Attempting to remove a fallen or damaged tree on your own could lead to serious damage or injury due to the weight of a tree, so it’s not recommended to try this yourself even if you have some experience and access to power tools.
What is Emergency Tree Removal?
Emergency tree removal services typically involve circumstances such as a fallen or damaged tree, storm-related damage, and any other tree conditions that pose an immediate or potential threat to people or property.
In addition to the removal of the tree itself, it’s also important to understand the environmental hazards that can occur resulting from a fallen tree. For instance, it could take down power lines that can become dangerous, it could shatter glass and spread shards everywhere, or it could damage vehicles, houses, and other property.
In some cases, emergency tree removal can be classed as anything that could negatively affect public spaces. State tree removal regulations can lead to city enforcement officers issuing notices for overhanging trees that encroach on private property or public spaces.
What Does an Emergency Tree Service Provide?
The goal of an emergency tree service is to minimize potential harm and danger to people and property. This typically means that the problematic tree will be pruned or removed if applicable. If the tree has yet to become a problem or danger, then it’s possible to trim the tree which will reduce the chances of injury and damage in the future.
Preventing the Need for Emergency Tree Services
The need for an emergency tree service usually means that a tree has not been carefully maintained or regularly inspected.
Inspections and maintenance will ensure that the tree is pruned and trimmed correctly to ensure that it does not become an issue. This allows for early intervention if there are signs of damage or potential disease in your tree.
However, in the event of adverse weather conditions, there’s not a lot that can be done about a damaged or fallen tree. Steps can be taken to mitigate damage, such as moving vehicles back into garages and being mindful of areas of potential damage.
Tree bracing and cabling can also help to strengthen and beautify trees, thus avoiding potential damage due to adverse weather conditions.
The Cost of Emergency Tree Services
Whether it’s a full removal, pruning, or trimming, emergency tree services can vary in cost depending on the circumstances. Some situations may call for more manual labor, which will impact the costs.
