Why Hiring an Arborist Is Vital!

When it comes to your property’s trees, sometimes, it can be tempting to try and do some DIY tree work. We get it. However, it’s always important that you hire a specialist and professional arborist for all of your property’s tree management needs, and today, we’ll consider why this is the case. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at why you should hire an arborist and how arborist services can be beneficial for your property’s tree maintenance needs!

Why Hire an Arborist?

First of all, let’s clarify why hiring an arborist is such an essential step for you to take. Indeed, arborist services are integral for the health of your trees, as well as for ensuring your own safety and health. Unfortunately, though, many people don’t necessarily consider this and instead attempt to do their own work on their trees. Unfortunately, this can result in people making mistakes and suffering accidents.

There are numerous potential complications associated with doing your own DIY tree work. Some of the risk factors of doing DIY work without the right tools and equipment include the following.

The Risk of Injury is Great

Injuries or accidents are the most obvious risk factor associated with doing DIY work on your trees. Indeed, there are multiple ways in which you could get hurt while doing DIY tree work. This is absolutely essential to consider, as these injuries could potentially be severe.

The most obvious potential for injury, of course, is that you could fall from a height. Most people attempting to do DIY work will be doing so without the correct harnesses and the like; as such, a fall from these sorts of heights could be severe. However, that’s far from the only risk of injury for people doing DIY tree maintenance work.

Next, you should consider the risks associated with the tools you’re using. Tree maintenance requires incredibly dangerous tools such as saws, chainsaws, axes, and the like. Of course, the exact tools you’d likely be using for DIY tree maintenance would be less high-tech than a professional arborist’s tools. Nevertheless, they could still do a significant amount of damage if your hand was to slip while using it.

Finally, it’s also worth considering the risk of injury if the work was done incorrectly. Indeed, professional arborists need to be fully qualified to provide their services; this requires extensive training to keep everyone safe. Falling logs and branches can be a major risk factor.
