Professional arborists and tree cutters know the in’s and out’s of trees and understand how to properly cut them down. They have specific methods they implement when they are cutting down a tree. Here are some of the things they do when cutting down a tree:
- Inspects the Tree: The first thing an arborist will do is inspect the tree to assess how cuts into the tree will affect its structure. Along with assessing that, they will assess the tree’s stability and root system.
- Create a Removal Plan: It’s very important to create a plan before starting any work. The arborists will create a plan to determine where to cut the tree and estimate where the tree will end up after it has been cut.
- Prepare the Site: An arborist will prepare the site by ensuring that they have all the tools they need and that it is safe. Site preparation could include many things such as handling the aftermath of the tree being cut or estimating what, if any, fallen pieces will damage the property.
