While tree care might seem simple, arboriculture is a complicated field with many dangers. To avoid bracing yourself from falling limbs, all tree cutting, trimming, and removal should be completed by a certified arborist. Serving Athens, GA, since 1998, every staff member at Arbor Authority is both certified and experienced in handling an array of services, keeping trees in tip-top shape.

Here, they share the dangers of do-it-yourself (DIY) tree care:

  • Equipment Failures: Ladders can be dangerous, and tree care causes frequent equipment failures if you’re untrained. As a DIYer, you’re putting yourself in danger by tree cutting with a ladder that could easily tip when you reach for a faraway branch. Without the proper skills, it’s easy to overestimate the height and length of branches, so consult a certified arborist who knows the ins and outs of tree growth and top-notch techniques for proper care.
  • arboristTool Troubles: Not only do ladders cause slips and falls, but the tools used for tree trimming and cutting could also put you in the hospital. If you’ve already reached great heights attempting to cut branches, try adding a chainsaw to the mix—the results could be disastrous. Since these tools are potentially deadly and easy to misuse, don’t attempt it.
  • Improper Knowledge: DIYers not only risk harming themselves but their trees as well. A certified arborist is highly trained in how various breeds grow and develop; he’s not simply hacking away at your branches. If you don’t have that same know-how, you could ruin a gorgeous landscape.

If you need high-quality tree care, turn to an arborist you can trust. Whether you require tree trimming or complete removal around your yard, the certified professionals at Arbor Authority will get the job done safely and affordably.
