Safe Tree Removal in Orland Park

Once it has been decided that a tree needs removing, it is very important that all of the following actions be taken, which we make sure to do with every job:
1. Measure or estimate the height of the tree and clear enough area around it so that it can be dropped without hitting anything.

2. Conduct a thorough assessment of the tree. Determine which way that it may be leaning, as it will generally be easiest to have it fall in that direction. Likewise, note any damage or decay that might affect its final fall path.

3. Have a backup strategy in mind. Even with all the right preparation, a tree can still fall in an unexpected direction. Plan out a few escape routes should it begin falling a different way than you prepared. Again, this is why it is very important to have the entire surrounding area as clear of obstacles as possible.

4. Ready all required equipment before starting the job. Handsaws might be used for smaller sized trees, but chainsaws will be best for bigger ones.

5. Once all of the above actions above have been taken, the undercut can be begun. Also called a notch cut, this action is a precaution, acting as a guide for the tree when it falls. An undercut includes cutting a V-shaped notch into the trunk in the direction you want it to fall. We suggest a 90-degree cut, though the cut can be as low as 45-degrees, and ought to be about one quarter of the trunk's diameter in depth. DO NOT PUSH THE TREE BY HAND as this can cause an unanticipated fall direction.

7. Produce a backcut, also called a felling cut, level to 2 inches above the corner/hinge of the undercut, on the opposite side of the tree. This causes tension in the tree, allowing it to finally fall. The backcut should only be a couple of inches high and must go deep enough into the trunk so that the width between the end of the backcut and the corner of the undercut end about 10% of the trunks size apart. When done properly, you are set up with a perfect hinge for dropping a tree.

8. When the tree begins falling, immediately cut power to the chainsaw, scream "timber!" to alert anyone in the vicinity, and quickly move away utilizing the best escape path.

9. If everything was done correctly, the tree should now be flat on the ground and the 'limbing' process can begin. Limbing is another way of saying that you’re removing the branches. Start at the base of the tree and work up, alternating between sides of the tree as you remove branches you for security. Make certain to avoid the standing in the rolling path of a tree if you happen to be on a slope should the tree begin rolling during limbing. Once only the trunk is left, it too will need to be cut, and how you do that is determined by the final plan for the wood. If you desire to make firewood or mulch, the process will be different than if you're getting rid of the wood.

Once all actions have been taken and the process is complete, there will likely be a great deal of debris to be cleaned up, such as branches, wood chips, leaves, and more. We clean up everything, as if it was never even there, leaving your property spotless. As mentioned,  strongly advise against removing a tree on your own.
