The Hidden Dangers of DIY Tree Removal
It might seem easy enough to go out and cut down the tree that is causing problems or is unwanted. However, tree removal is not a safe DIY project. Professional tree removal in Radford, VA, is provided by the best team and is not difficult to schedule an appointment. Think about what could happen if you were to do it yourself.
Unpredictable Tree Fall
Without proper training, it can be difficult to tell which way a tree will fall. If you are prepared for it to fall to the left, a sudden wind change will cause the tree to fall more to the right. If you’re not prepared, the tree can cause some serious damage. If not to you, it could take out a telephone pole, transformer, other trees, block a main road, or a combination of all those things!
Removing the Wrong Tree

When there are a lot of trees, it can be hard to tell which tree needs to be removed without proper tagging, especially if you live on a lot of property. Removing a tree that is perfectly fine while leaving behind a tree that is dying can be detrimental to the rest of the trees. Root rot and other diseases can spread from one tree to the next, and you won’t know until it’s too late. Professional tree removal experts in Radford, VA, not only have the skillset to remove the correct tree, but we also inspect the other trees to ensure they are healthy.
Unexpected Injuries
Without proper experience with using power tools and safety gear, accidents can happen. Trees are strong and require considerable effort to cut down. If you are unaware of your surroundings, safety etiquette, and which tree to cut down, you could be brewing a recipe for disaster.
Roots Left Behind
Leaving roots behind after cutting down a diseased tree is dangerous for the other trees. All you did at that point was allow for a sick stump to continue to spread its disease. Either the roots will spread it to other trees, or mushrooms and other fungi will grow on the stump and spread the disease that way. Professional tree removal in Radford, VA, means we take the whole tree with us, so you won’t have to worry about the rest of your property.
Permits are a Requirement

- Permits
- Certificates
- Experience
These are just a few requirements you need before you can successfully cut a tree down yourself. And even after all that time, energy, and money, it is still best to go with the pros. Permits are legal contracts that allow our team at NRV Tree Guy to remove trees from your property safely.
