Removing a tree from your yard or property requires careful thought so you avoid damage to your own and neighboring buildings and landscaping.  While you may feel confident handling the removal of a small tree, rely on a professional tree removal service to take down large trees. Most tree cutting services rely on several techniques to handle the job safely and make sure it goes smoothly.

Typically, the tree climber cuts branches as he works his way up the trunk of the tree. Using a harness and safety ropes, once the tree climber reaches the top of the tree he begins to cut the upper sections of the trunk, letting them free fall to the ground. The climber continues to work back down the trunk, removing sections as he goes. Once the tree seems short enough to fell, a final cut is made and the rest of the tree falls.
