The Risks of DIY Tree Work
- Falling branches: Limbs can drop unpredictably, causing injury or property damage.
- Unstable trees: Trees under stress may split or shift suddenly when cut.
- Hidden hazards: Power lines, gas lines, or weak structures nearby increase the danger.
- Lack of equipment: Without cranes, ropes, and safety harnesses, homeowners face huge risks.
- Higher costs: DIY attempts often lead to greater damage, insurance issues, and expensive repairs.
Tree removal is consistently ranked among the most hazardous jobs in the U.S.—and for good reason. Professional training and equipment are essential for safety.
