6 Common Misconceptions About Tree Removal

Misconception 1: Anyone Can Remove a Tree

Let me tell you folks, it's simply not true. Safe and efficient tree removal isn't exactly a walk in the park. There's more to it than meets the eye.

At Arborcor Tree Care, we have a team of trained, ISA certified professionals. Their years of experience in arboriculture ensures that every tree removal job is done safely and efficiently.

Misconception 2: Tree Removal Doesn't Require Special Equipment

Well, if you're dealing with a tiny sapling, sure! But for fully grown trees - especially those beasts that tower over your home - you need more than just elbow grease.

Here's a list of some tools we at Arborcor regularly use:

• Chainsaws: For cutting through thick bark
• Stump grinders: To eradicate left-over stumps
• Cranes and cherry pickers: For those hard-to-reach branches

So yes, professional tree removal certainly does require special equipment!

Misconception 3: Trees Can Be Removed At Any Time

Oh boy, if only it were that easy! Did you know one of the best times to remove a tree is actually in the fall, when the tree is dormant? Or that soggy soil can make a removal job more dangerous? At Arborcor, we take the guesswork out for you. We advise on the best times to remove trees to ensure safety and efficiency.

Misconception 4: Removing a Tree Won't Affect the Surrounding Environment

Au contraire, my friend! Trees don’t just make our yards look pretty. They reduce soil erosion, produce oxygen, and provide habitat for all sorts of critters.

Before we even think about picking up a chainsaw, we at Arborcor conduct careful assessments. We consider:

• The impact on local wildlife
• Soil condition after removal
• The effect on adjacent trees

This way, we ensure that every tree removal job is as eco-friendly as possible.

Misconception 5: Tree Removal Is an Expensive Service

Well now, let's nip this one in the bud! Yes, professional tree removal comes at a price. But consider this - the cost includes:

• Access to professional-grade equipment
• Expertise from ISA certified professionals
• Ensured safety during the process

At Arborcor Tree Care, we believe that quality doesn't have to break the bank. We offer competitive prices to ensure that you get top-notch service without emptying your wallet.

Misconception 6: Stump Removal is Not Necessary After Tree Removal

If I had a nickel for every time I heard this! Leaving an old stump can attract pests and even cause re-growth. That’s why Arborcor offers stump grinding services to make sure your yard stays clean and safe.
