Tree removal looks simple from the ground, but the safety record for do-it-yourself tree work tells a different story.
The Tree Care Industry Association reviewed 62 civilian tree care accidents reported in the media and found that 66 percent were fatal. The median age of the victims was 43, and the youngest was a 2-year-old bystander struck by a falling tree from 50 feet away. Four of the victims were not even doing the tree work themselves, they were simply nearby.
Most homeowners were injured or killed by the tree itself, by falling limbs, by power lines, or by the saw they were using. In most cases, there was nobody present to spot, assist, or advise them to stop and call a professional.
Cutting down or removing a tree involves unpredictable weight distribution, tension, and lean that only trained, insured professionals are equipped to read safely.
Our ISA-certified arborists carry the training, equipment, and insurance to handle tree work throughout Lambertville, Central Bucks, Hunterdon, and Mercer Counties, so homeowners never have to take that risk themselves.
