Why You Should Always Use a Trusted Tree Surgeon
Removing a tree may sound straightforward, but when that tree is close to structures such as power lines or buildings, it can become a lot riskier. That’s where we come in! As one of the leading tree surgeons Colchester has to offer, we are experts when it comes to the safe and efficient removal of trees in tricky areas. Here’s why you need to give us a call:
The Risks of Tree Removal
Trees growing close to power lines, houses, sheds, garages, boundary fences or public footpaths all come with their own unique risks. These can include:
- Electrocution or power outages
- Damage to property
- Injury to people nearby
All of the above can lead to legal consequences, especially if the work breached any local rules. What looks like a small job on the ground can quickly become dangerous if you don’t have the right skills and equipment. So, let’s take a look at why you should never take the DIY approach:
Why You Should Never Attempt It Yourself
DIY tree work is responsible for so many injuries, ranging from minor to life threatening. Working at height with chainsaws or cutting near power lines is never safe, but having the correct training and safety gear on hand really reduces the risk. Even experienced gardeners can underestimate how hard it can be to safely fell a tree that is in a difficult location.
Attempting to do the work yourself may save money in the short term, but you could be setting yourself up for far more costly consequences in the long run.
How We Can Help
When you choose us, you are choosing a team with years of experience when it comes to complex tree removals. We do the following to ensure that each job can be completed without any issues:
Carry Out a Risk Assessment
Before we begin any work on your tree, we will take a close look at its condition and stability along with any nearby structures or obstacles. This will allow us to decide on a sectional dismantling or straight felling.
