Top Ways to Prepare for Tree Removal
by Julius Manninen
You might have an unsightly or dead tree somewhere on your property, or you might want to move a tree out of the way so that you will have room to build an outdoor shed or install a pool. Regardless of the reason why you want to remove one or more trees, you'll want to be sure you're prepared. Preparing for tree removal is a pretty simple process as long as you remember to follow all of these tips.
Determine Which Trees Should Be Removed
First of all, you should determine which trees you want to have removed, and you should mark or flag them so that the tree removal professionals will know which trees to cut down. Think about how you want to use your property, and consider removing any trees that might not fit in with your plans. Consider the health of your trees; a professional arborist can take a look at unhealthy trees and help you determine if they can be rehabilitated. If they can't, then you'll probably want to have them removed. Trees that might be risking the foundation, septic tank or sewage pipes or other parts of your property should be removed as well.
Find a Tree Removal Service
You could be tempted to rent or buy a chainsaw and cut down a tree yourself. This might seem like a good way to save money, but it can be very dangerous. Hiring a professional is generally a much better choice when having something like this done.
Get the Necessary Permits
Depending on where you live and other factors—such as how close the tree that you're removing is to your property line—you might be required to have a permit before you can have a tree removed. Your tree removal service should handle this, but you will want to ask them first, just to be sure
Make Room for the Workers
When you have scheduled tree removal, you should make sure that you clear a space for the workers before they arrive. You'll want to move your vehicles, kids' outdoor toys, outdoor furniture, and other items out of the way. This makes it easier for the tree removal specialist to work and helps prevent your items from being damaged, too. Make sure that your kids and other family members know to stay out of the way for safety reasons, and keep your pets in the house. Someone from the tree removal service will let you know if there is anything else that you need to do to prepare for their arrival. You may also want to warn your neighbors that tree removal will be taking place so they can be prepared, too.

I would have never imagined buying something like that, but it lit up my home, and it produced yummy fruit. After having such a positive experience with a potted tree, I decided to invest in a few more. Through the years, I have learned how to take care of potted trees, how to plant them outside and how to ensure they are getting the light they need inside.
