Tree Cutting
Has there been a storm recently? Is there a tree blocking your walkway? Or perhaps it has fallen across the road? Logically speaking, it would be hard to move an uprooted tree in one piece. That said, the tree would need to be cut into pieces of logs before it can be transported out of the scene. Besides an uprooted tree, when else would we need to call for tree cutting services? Well, trees that are dead, diseased, or overgrown should also be cut. By doing so, you will prevent the weaker trees from being uprooted during a storm. Cutting trees by yourself can save you from forking out a sum of money, however, you are also exposing yourself to unnecessary risks. It is important to have a thorough plan and preparation in order to ensure the safe removal of the trees.
What safety precautions must be taken?
For starters, always consider your health. Are you physically fit to do such a task? If you lack experience with a chainsaw, I strongly advise you not to attempt sawing a tree by yourself. I would also like to remind those who are experienced, to wear long sleeves, long pants, a hard hat, protective glasses, a headset for ear protection, work gloves, and work boots. These precautions must be taken so you protect yourself from being injured.
If you are trying to cut an overgrown, dying, or diseased tree. Here are the following steps that you would need to consider. Firstly, planning. When it comes to tree cutting, especially with the use of a chainsaw, preparation is always the key. Are there any overhead lines, roads, or buildings that the tree may potentially fall to? Secondly, check the felling (cutting down of trees) direction. Consider including wind direction as a factor. Are you unsure of the tree’s felling direction? You may take a step back from the tree and check the felling direction with the help of a plumb line. From there, clear approximately 45 degrees, this will create space for your retreat. Thirdly, prune the trunk. Then, decide on which cutting technique should be used. If the timber is visibly discolored or soft, you may want to be more careful when handling the tree. This indicates that the tree is rotting and is significantly weakened.
