There’s no doubt about it, dealing with large trees is dangerous work. Tree removal requires a high level of experience and skill, as well as some pretty big equipment. This is not something for the weekend do-it-yourselfer. There are lots of stories about how a homeowner decided to do tree removal with the help of some friends, and the end result was a damaged house, a destroyed car, or personal injury. The cliché “don’t try this at home” definitely applies!
