When you have a property with a sick or dead tree or a large one with overgrown roots, it may be time to call for tree removal. Once you schedule the contractor, you need to prepare for them to come. Here's how to prepare for your tree removal services.

Clear a Path

According to Today's Homeowner, it costs about $750 to $1,200 for tree removal from your property. The final cost can depend on how many labor hours will be needed. So do whatever you can to ensure contractors have an easy access path to the tree. Contractors should have a clear place to park, as they'll likely come with a truck to haul the tree away in. If you have any items, such as children's toys or patio furniture lying about, bring them inside or far away from the work area.

Occupy the Kids and Pets

Tree removal can involve a lot of noise. After all, the tree professionals may need to use chainsaws and axes. Then, there's the sound of a tree falling. Between the noise and having a strange person on a property, animals may become anxious. Children may also be scared or tempted to get in the way. Tree removal can be dangerous, and you don't want to risk your child getting hurt. Put them in a part of the house where they'll be away from the noise, or find a play date for your child and animal elsewhere.

Alert Neighbors and HOA

Be a good neighbor and let everyone know about your tree removal. They can prepare for the noise and be aware of work trucks coming through. If you live in an HOA neighborhood, you may be required to let them know as well.

Put Vehicles in Garage

If you often keep your car in the driveway, put it in a garage. As mentioned, your tree removal services professionals need a place to park, and they may have more than one vehicle. Plus, you don't want to risk your car getting damaged or dirty from tree debris.
