Have A Lot Of Dead Trees In Your Yard? Hire A Tree Removal Service
Posted on: 4 April 2023
If you have one tree that gets a deadly disease, it can sometimes spread through all the other trees on your property if not treated. If this has happened to you, you need to hire a tree removal service to remove the trees for you. Below is information on how this is done, as well as what you can do with the leftover wood from the trees.
Remove Trees
Because the trees are dead it will likely not be difficult to remove them. The trees are likely weak, and some may even be hollow. The tree service may be able to use an axe to cut down the entire tree at once, especially if it is not large. If the tree is very tall, however, they will have to cut it down in pieces. They have a truck that lifts them up to the top and they cut off the branches first. They then use an axe or other equipment to chop the tree up piece by piece as they move down the tree. They will continue to do this until every tree is removed from your yard.
When finished you are left with a big mess as you will have a lot of stumps in your yard, as well as a lot of logs and branches. The tree service can grind the stumps down for you so you can either plant a new tree in the same spot or cover it with soil and plant some grass.
Dispose of Logs
One way to dispose of logs is to take them to a composting program in your area or you may have a yard waste recycling program. Make sure you tell them your trees died so they will know if they should keep the logs or not. Your town may pick up debris from yards throughout the year. This is generally done in the spring and then again in the fall months when people do the most yard work.
You can also burn the tree logs on your property. This will take a lot more time but is a good idea because your trees were diseased. The wood will need to be completely dry before it will burn well. This is considered a controlled burn so you should have experience with this if you choose to do this on your own. Also, you may have regulations you have to follow when burning something in your area so check on this first. You could call the local fire department as they would know this information.
The tree service that you hire may take away all the debris for you so make sure you ask them first.
