Homeowners remove trees for various reasons. It may be because the tree is near power lines, as a landscaping requirement, or the tree is dying or dead. Whatever the reason, calling the experts for professional tree removal and other tree services is the best option. You can easily cut a tree by yourself. All you need is a chainsaw, right? However, removing a tree without knowledge might result in property damage or injuries and leave you with an ugly stump lying on your property. If you’re not convinced, here is a comparison of doing the job yourself versus calling the professionals:
Doing the Job Yourself
You will need to buy equipment (that you might not use for a long time after cutting down the tree). For this project, you will need a shovel, a chainsaw, drill, wheelbarrow, stump grinder, and some basic safety gear. The grinder will cost you a couple of thousands of dollars, and if you choose to rent one, you will spend around 200 to 300 dollars per day. If it’s your first time to use a stump grinder, you will need to read the user manual first so that you can operate it properly. After you’ve gone through the basics, you can now perform the tree removal.
Getting Professional Work Done
Professional stump and tree grinding services will cost you around 100-150 dollars depending on the number of trees and stumps you want removed. Because you are hiring a professional tree company to perform the task, they will come to your property fully equipped with the tools needed for the job. You won’t have to spend time finding and buying equipment and tools. Professionals will also use safety measures by effectively removing all trees and stumps without damaging your property.
If you compare the cost and the convenience of removing the tree yourself versus hiring a professional, you will see that the latter offers more advantages. Professional tree companies like Five Star Tree LLC are always ready to remove all trees and stumps on your property in the Stafford, VA area.
