Mistake #1: Handling Chainsaws without Proper Skills

There’s more to chainsaws than meets the eye. Sure, maybe you, your neighbour or a member of your family owns a chainsaw and they might offer to take care of the tree removal for you. But it’s important to consider how powerful and dangerous chainsaws can be when not handled with the proper skill.

Mistake #2: Climbing Trees

Mistake #3: Improper Tree Cutting

If you’re a DIYer, the chances are that you don’t know the best tree pruning practices to ensure your tree can heal when cut. It’s important to prune a tree properly to ensure it remains safe and stable.

Mistake #4: Electricity Lines!
