Do you need some help removing that tree? Pine trees are one of the most difficult kinds of trees to remove. Not only do they grow extremely fast, but they can also put a lot of pressure on your removal equipment, and require a lot of upkeep in order for you to keep them at a reasonable size. If you've never used a tree service before it's best to know what you're getting into so that you don't waste money or time. Here is some basic information on how to remove a tree safely and efficiently.
First off you need to make sure that you are working with a strong tree. There are several ways to tell if a tree is too weak to handle, such as cracks or weak spots. Look at the branches and make sure that they are not broken or fractured, or that there is not enough wood for you to get at. Also check for root damage, which could potentially cause your tree to fall and cause damage to anything nearby. You should also inspect the area for any limbs that may have broken off and need to be tended to immediately.
Once you've assessed the tree you can start removing it. Make sure that the root ball isn't damaged or completely detached from the tree. If you do this it will prevent you from needing to use your own cutting equipment, and you will have an easier time removing the tree altogether. It will also cut down on the amount of work you have to do while trying to fix any damage that the tree may have already caused.
Now it's time to cut through the thick boughs and roots to get to the heart of the tree. If you cut into the wrong spot you could cause a lot of damage, or even cause the tree to fall. There are some tools that you can buy that will help you do this safely, and it's important that you wear them if you have to cut into the tree. You also want to make sure that you are wearing goggles so that you don't get bit by any of the thorns that might be attached to the branches.
Once you've gotten through the whole mess (which shouldn't take long) it's time to move on. You can probably salvage most of the tree except for any limbs that may have fallen on your garage floor or driveway. If you haven't completely removed all the limbs you can then use a saw to remove the rest. After you've cleaned up the mess you'll want to cover everything in order to protect it from future weather conditions. You'll also need to make sure that you haven't let the tree dry out by putting it in the garage or anywhere else that it might wet and freeze.
With all that taken care of you'll be able to remove a tree with ease. The process is much less time consuming and easier than you might think. You just need to know what to do and when. And knowing when is going to save you quite a bit of money in the long run!
