While seemingly straightforward, tree removals are one of the most dangerous and complicated operations in tree care. Without adequate knowledge, experience, and proper planning, removal accidents can happen fast – often with catastrophic consequences that may result in costly property damage, bodily injury, and in worst case scenarios tragic fatalities. When considering tree removals, it is imperative to contract a fully insured tree care company staffed with experienced certified arborists who are up to date on the latest best management practices and who know and follow current tree care industry safety standards.
For safe removals and other general tree care services, working with Monster Tree Service’s qualified team of expert arborists is one of the best investments you can make to efficiently take down problematic trees while minimizing removal risks. We are built to handle the challenges of large and hazardous tree removals – and we are on your side to protect your home, family, and property.
Starting the removal process – meeting with a qualified professional
Monster’s tree removals start with a visit from one of our expert professional arborists who will assess the tree and the surrounding area that could be impacted by the removal. A thorough evaluation of the site and the tree’s condition is essential – the arborist will consider the tree’s size, location, health and structural condition, as well as its proximity to houses, buildings and utilities. From this assessment your arborist then develops a proposal based on a strategic plan that minimizes hazards and ensures the safest and most efficient removal.
Checking your local ordinances and regulations before contracting removals
Before scheduling removal work, your Monster arborist will work with you to check with your municipality’s regulations and ordinances regarding tree removals. In many instances, removals may require permits or approvals by local authorities. When planning a stump removal, the arborist will also work with you to locate hidden utilities through your local 811 service.
Professionalism is the signature of every job that we do
From the first meeting with your Monster arborist to the arrival of your Monster crew, you will know that your tree removal work is being handled by professionals who are committed to bringing you the highest level of excellence in tree care. From our professional uniforms and personal protective equipment to every aspect of our job setup and cleanup, we show that we not only take pride in what we do, but that we care about our personal safety and the safety of your home and property.
Following industry recognized protocols
Instrumental for removals is adherence to tree care industry standards. In any tree care operation, Monster Tree Service follows nationally recognized rules and advisories that are outlined in the American National Standard Institute’s [ANSI] A 300 Tree Care Standards and ANSI Z 133 Safety Standards. Compliance with these standards not only ensures the safety of the removal but also optimizes efficiency by utilizing industry recognized best management practices.
Preparation, organization and communication are key to ensure a smooth and safe removal
Whether felling a tree out in the open or dismantling hazardous limbs piece by piece in a tight space, tree take downs are highly technical operations requiring preparation, close teamwork and constant communication. With strategic planning, Monster’s experienced arborists, climbers, and crew teams review work orders ahead of time, inspect the work site upon arrival, and hold a job briefing on site to review work before it begins.
The removal will start with creating a safe work zone, clearing the area of vehicles, furniture, and other objects that may be breakable or may otherwise create obstacles and tripping hazards to the crew. Traffic cones will be placed on the street and surrounding area to mark off a safe perimeter around the work zone, as well as our trucks and equipment.
We will also ask that homeowners and other observers stay clear of the work area. While tree work is fascinating to watch from a distance, in the interests of safety, bystanders are not allowed to enter the perimeter and will be informed to stay clear of the work zone when approaching.
Safety, awareness and control are the hallmark of every cut we make
Every aspect of a tree removal requires intense focus and attention to detail to avoid mishaps that could result in injury or costly accidents. With each removal cut, carefully calculated and coordinated actions must be made to maintain control over falling limbs and trunk sections, preventing unpredictable shifts and swings that could endanger workers or damage property.
Throughout the entire operation, every crew member must maintain a constant mindfulness of surroundings, changing conditions and emerging dangers which may evolve during the removal process. This commitment to teamwork, communication, and awareness keeps your property and our crews safe while optimizing the most efficient removal process.
