What are important things to consider before felling a tree?

Seven essential factors that you need to consider before tree removal to avoid any mishap or damage. The first thing is the location of your property and the trees in it. It is very important to know where the tree is located because if you don’t, then you might end up cutting down a tree which is not on your land. If this happens, you will have to pay for the damages caused by the tree falling on someone else’s property. The second factor is the size of the tree. You should never cut down a large tree unless you are sure that there is no way out for it. A big tree can cause serious problems when it falls on your house or other structures. The third factor is the height of the tree. If the tree is too tall, then you will have to hire professional arborists to remove it from your property. This is because they have the right equipment and tools to do so safely. The fourth factor is the age of the tree. Trees grow old with time and as such, they become weak and unstable. When this happens, it becomes difficult to remove them without causing damage to the surrounding area. The fifth factor is the health of the tree. If you notice that the tree has been sickly for some time now, then you should immediately call an expert arborist to help you remove it. The sixth factor is the condition of the roots. Roots are like veins and arteries of a tree; therefore, if they are damaged, then the tree cannot survive. As such, you should always make sure that the roots are healthy before removing a tree. Finally, the seventh factor is the weather conditions. The weather plays a huge role in determining whether or not a tree will fall. For example, if the temperature is low, then the tree will be more likely to fall than if the temperature was high.
