Summary
When it comes to tree trimming, pruning, or removal, whom you hire can also have serious consequences. Whether you need tree work done to enhance or protect your property, or to clear an entire lot for construction, a wise move is to choose a specialist in this field.
Legend has it that young George Washington confessed to chopping down his father’s cherry tree, illustrating to us that he “could not tell a lie.” We have no idea why he did it in the first place or what type of hatchet he used. But of one thing we can be certain. If George had had the tools we have today, it could have spelled disaster for his father’s entire cherry orchard. Fortunately, he didn’t have them, but we do. And it takes a qualified person to be able to use them properly.
If you needed heart surgery, to whom would you turn? The best specialist you can find in the area of expertise you need, or someone who is really good at drawing ❤️s? Or perhaps someone in between, who knows where your heart is located and may have witnessed surgeries himself. Eh, maybe that’s not quite good enough either.
When it comes to tree trimming, pruning, or removal, whom you hire can also have serious consequences. Whether you need tree work done to enhance or protect your property, or to clear an entire lot for construction, a wise move is to choose a specialist in this field. Simply owning a truck, some rope, and a chainsaw does not qualify one.
Furthermore, if an uninsured, unqualified contractor does some work, and something goes wrong, insurance companies will refuse to pay for the work or any damage they may have caused.
Trees come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and conditions needed for growth. There are over 60 species native to Maryland alone. Naturally, different trees will require different methods of care and trimming. Pruning may need to involve more than one person to simply climb the tree and trim branches. Will he make the correct cuts for the tree’s optimum health and beauty? Where will the branches fall? Only a professional will have the know-how to make these decisions and how to best approach the tree. Often special equipment is needed even for pruning, particularly when the tree is very tall or located in a tight space, and all the more so when removing a dead or decaying tree.
Different scenarios call for different pieces of heavy equipment. For example, recently a large tree which had fallen onto a building had to be precisely and gingerly lifted off the roof. In this case, two massive cranes were employed as well as other machines. Some of the very powerful and efficient machines Pikesville Tree Service uses for tree work include Rayco diamond-tipped stump grinders, Morbark wood chippers, which turn wood into mulch, and ASV skid steers.
