Many of us are capable of mowing our lawns and planting flowers, but when it comes to tree maintenance, things get extremely complicated. While you might think it is safe to do it yourself, there are extreme risks of damage and harm to you, your tree, or your property if done incorrectly. Keep reading to learn more about why you should use a safety tree service for tree maintenance, instead of doing it yourself.

The Risks of DIY Tree Care

There are many risks to doing tree maintenance by yourself, the main being damage, injury, or even accidental death. Servicing trees is a serious business and many things can have negative consequences.

• Falling limbs: Tree trimming may seem as simple as cutting off branches, but this is very dangerous as you can throw the tree off balance or have a limb fall in a way you did not expect.
• Faulty Tools: Something as simple as a dull chainsaw or weak ropes can lead to a terrible accident. Even if you know how to properly use a piece of equipment on the ground, everything can change when up in a tree.
• General lack of knowledge: Unlike trained arborists with a safety tree service, homeowners and business owners are not experts in tree care and safety. It is incredibly dangerous to climb up a tree and trim branches without knowing how a tree is built and how to climb it properly.

The Benefits of a Safety Tree Service

Whether we are up in the tree bracing or down on the ground grinding a stump, we will always use best practices and proper protocol.
