The tree care industry is on an upswing. According to IBISWorld, it grew by 11% each year between 2020 and 2022. It should continue as more people need help with their trees. Here are several reasons why trying to do tree care yourself instead of hiring tree companies is dangerous:

1. You Could Hurt Yourself

The employees of tree companies are well-trained and have the proper equipment to handle any situation with trees, including removing them or trimming their branches. If you try to do this yourself with inferior equipment, you could hurt yourself, whether by cutting yourself or falling. Then you're going to have to pay a hospital bill.

2. You Could Damage the Tree

If you don't know what you're doing when trimming trees or pruning branches, you could wind up doing a lot more harm than good. Then you'll need to bring in the tree professionals to have them try to fix the problem.

3. You Could Damage Your Property

Here's another way that trying to take care of a tree yourself could result in disaster. If you're trying to remove a tree and miscalculate the angle, where is it going to fall? It could land on your car, or worse, your home. You could have a branch fall and hit someone, which could be extremely dangerous and possibly even fatal.

While it's tempting to try to save money by handling everything yourself, as you can see, you could wind up paying a lot more than you bargained for. Trees require a special level of care and respect when it comes to trying to either care for or remove them. Tree companies have people who are trained on how to take care of trees so that you can stay safe.

The best thing to do is contact experts who are familiar with how to handle trees. They will be able to come and assess the situation and then clearly explain how they're going to handle it, whether it's trimming the branches or removing the tree from your property. This will save you a lot of possible aggravation and potential danger which will be well worth it.
