Tree Removal: What You Can Expect

Having a tree removed from your yard is a big decision. You may be removing a tree because it's too overgrown, although an overgrown tree could be hundreds of years old. If you have an overgrown tree, it could be dangerous. Maybe you're removing a tree because you don't want it in your yard any longer, or because it's dying or full of pests. No matter why you're having the tree removed, you'll want to know what to expect. Read on for information about having a tree removed.

Expect A Lot Of Equipment

Depending on the size of the tree, there may be a lot of equipment that is going to be required in order to have the tree removed. If it's a large tree, a bucket truck to trim the top branches is going to be required. Workers using ropes in order to ensure the branches fall the correct way is also going to be required. You may see a lot of workers around your yard when the tree is being removed. A wood chipper will be used to chop up the branches, and then the trunk of the tree will be cut down with chainsaws. A truck to remove the wood may also be required. All of this heavy equipment will be used in your yard, so be prepared.

Expect A Lot Of Wood Chips

You're going to have a lot of wood chips around your yard, which can be blown away with a blower or even a mower. Other leftovers such as leaves and twigs are also going to be left behind for you to take care of, which again, can be picked up, blown away, or mowed over and mulched up.

Expect A Tree Stump

Unless you paid to have the tree and the stump removed, you may still be left with the stump of the tree. This will need to be ground down in order to be removed completely, and a tree removal service can do this work for you. A stump in the yard can be a nuisance, as you have to mow around it, it can be an eyesore, and you may end up with growth out of the stump if the roots to the tree are still intact.

Expect A Sinking Yard

Once a tree and the stump is removed, you can fill it in with dirt, but the area where the roots once were could be very vast throughout your yard. You may end up with low spots or areas that are actually sinking. You'll want to get some extra dirt to fill in this area and mound it up to allow for any sinking later.

If you are planning on having a tree removed, ask the service what all this will entail and what else you can expect. No matter the reason you want your tree removed, you should always hire a professional service to do the work for you. Visit a website like http://www.prtree.com for more information.
