Tree Tips and Suggestions

Safety Tips- If you decide to work on trees yourself:

• Be sure to have the proper equipment prior to starting the job
• Take precaution at all times (Have a buddy or family member near)
• Have a cell phone nearby in case of an emergency
• Wear boots, gloves and eye protection
• Make sure you always have two feet on the ground, or are securely fastened to something for leverage
• DO NOT EVER CUT ABOVE YOUR HEAD
• Although logical, NEVER use a chainsaw, power tools or sharp tools under the influence of alcohol or medication
• It is important to clean up any debris afterwards

OR our best recommendation is to call your local tree service, for an assessment and free estimate and that you get it in writing.
