Are you planning on removing a tree from your yard soon but don’t know how to prepare it? At T&T Tree Service, your go-to tree removal contractor in Doylestown, we have extensive experience cutting down trees. Our team can handle most of the prep work for you, but we still recommend taking a few steps to get ready for your appointment.
1. Schedule Your Tree Service
First, you need to schedule the tree removal with a certified team on a day that works well for your schedule. With professional assistance, you won’t need to worry about full site preparation, equipment usage, or debris cleanup.
Certified arborists understand all the facts about trees. They can use the right safety precautions to calculate the falling direction, ultimately preventing damage to your property. Your team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the best removal method.
2. Remove Valuables From Around the Tree
Now, you can prepare your yard. While your tree service team can handle moving large items out of the tree fall line, it’s wise to protect your valuables, just in case.
You may want to remove the following:
- Potted plants
- Lawn decorations
- Outdoor furniture
- Outdoor lights
Your tree service team can handle protecting larger structures, like fences, pergolas, patio stones, or neighboring trees and plants. If you’re concerned about any items, just let them know in advance.
3. Inform Your Neighbors
You should inform your neighbors about the tree removal a few days before the appointment. If the tree touches or sits near a neighbor’s property, the removal team may need to access their property during removal.
Even if the tree only sits in your yard, your neighbors will likely appreciate the heads-up, as removing a tree can be noisy. With the advance notice, your neighbors can safely lock their pets away or make other plans for the day.
4. Clear a Parking Area
Before your appointment, ensure the team has a large parking space with clear access to the tree. The removal team will likely need to haul large pieces of debris from your yard to their vehicle. For the time being, you may need to move your cars out to the street or a neighbor’s house.
5. Make Plans for the Day
The tree removal process often involves loud, heavy machinery, which can be distressing for pets, young children, or anyone working from home. When your appointment arrives, consider making plans to enjoy your afternoon outside of the house at a local coffee shop, park, or elsewhere.
6. Take Photos
You might consider taking photos of your home, vehicles, fencing, or other valuables before the appointment in case of damage. If the removal team accidentally damages any of your belongings, you can use these photos in your insurance claim.
