Trees that lean close to buildings and other structures are far from extraordinary. You’ve probably seen a couple of hundreds or maybe even thousands of trees, and so have your parents and your kids. However, that leaning tree is going to become a big problem in the future if you don’t do anything about it.
Although a leaning tree can pose many risks, it's important to make it clear that having a tree is great for you and your property. It can raise the value of your property significantly while producing fresh oxygen for you to breathe. If your assessment shows that it may be doing more harm than good, however, it might be time to break out your axe.
Infected and dead treesare part of a normal ecosystem, but leaving them to die right by your home may put your life at risk. Trees that have been infected can become hosts to a number of pests, with termites posing the most danger. Termites living in infected trees can cross over to your home, causing destruction and putting the foundation of your home at risk. Dead trees aren’t as durable as they were when they were alive, making them prone to falling over and endangering your safety when lightning, earthquakes, or other calamities strike.
You should be able to infer by now that a leaning tree is not the same as the Leaning Tower of Pisa; it might be nice to look at, but it’s not as supported and it can cause a tremendous amount of damage to your property if you get too careless. Contacting an expert to remove a leaning tree should be a priority so that you can live worry-free.
Now that you see the danger posed by leaning trees, it’s important to know that removing one isn’t as simple as you may think.
1 - Hold that chainsaw!
Removing a tree is more complex than taking a chainsaw and hacking it down. Don’t get straight to the cutting part without following a few important precautionary steps. You should start by evaluating the tree to understand its condition fully and then judge whether or not you’ll have to seek professional help.
2 - Safety first
If you decide to take on the task of removing the wooden threat yourself, remember to wear all the necessary safety equipment. Before removing the tree, you should have a helmet, safety gloves, earplugs, work boots, and goggles on. A high-visibility vest should also be on the list if you’re doing it with people and moving traffic around.
3 - Don’t be afraid to ask for professional help
There’s no need to hang your head in shame if you find that you can’t handle the removal process on your own! Tree removal is much more complex than people think it to be, as it requires a certain level of expertise that involves protecting the tree’s surroundings while safely taking it down.
