If you are a property owner you may be interested in how to know how to clear trees. Tree services are required by law to clear away dangerous or hazardous growth on your property. The laws vary from state to state so it is important that you familiarize yourself with the local regulations before taking any steps to get rid of a tree. Knowing how to get rid of a tree safely and in a timely manner is important.
The average cost to clear a tree varies greatly depending on the size of the tree, the area where it is located, the type of tree, and how much work is involved to get rid of the tree. For smaller trees up to 30 ft high you could expect to pay between less than a dollar and several dollars, for larger trees over 30 ft average cost could range from several hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars. The average cost to clear a tree also depends on how much work will be involved to get rid of the tree. The more trees on your property the higher the cost to clear them.
In some cases when the amount of trees on your property are high the cost to clear them may be minimal. If there are many trees on one parcel of land it may cost less to hire a tree removal service to get rid of them all at once instead of having to hire a company for each tree. Another cost factor that will affect the total cost of tree trimming or removal is the equipment used for the job. Some expensive pieces of equipment include chain saws and other large cutting tools.
There are tree removal companies that specialize in removing trees that are more than six feet tall. Typically these companies have their own trucks that allow for the transportation of large branches and trees. If you need to have a tree removed that is over six feet tall you will generally have to hire a crew of specialists who have the proper equipment and know how to use it to remove the tree safely.
If you are having a clearing or removal done you will need to determine the cost of each element of the project. This includes labor cost, equipment cost and the cost to clear trees per acre. Generally if you are hiring a removal company you can get a better deal on per tree than if you were to hire a trimming company. This is because the chainsaw used by tree removal companies is usually more powerful than what a trimming company uses. Trimming companies will also be able to clear larger trees quicker than tree removal companies since they have larger trucks.
Once you have determined the cost to clear trees you can then calculate the area that the tree removal and trimming will cover. If you are having a small tree removal then you can probably do it yourself. You will need a pitchfork and a large tree cutting machine if you are having a larger tree removal. The machine will allow you to do a cross cut of more than one hundred feet vertically and horizontally. This type of work usually requires more than one person to perform. If you have a lot of land you should consider hiring several people to perform this task so that all of the tree debris can be removed from the land.
