We called to have two large pine trees removed since they were in the way of where we needed to put our fence. We are slackers and always wait until the last minute to do anything so of course, we tried to find someone that could take these out quickly as we needed it done ASAP. These guys came out the same day I called and were able to get them out the next day. I was so impressed by how nice and professional they are, it’s nearly impossible to get anyone to come out and/or follow up with anything so it was extremely refreshing that they did both without me having to call and ask what the hold up was. I will forever use this company for future needs. Thank you again!!

It took a while for the weather to cooperate, but when the time came, all went well with excellent results. The crew removed a large water oak and a small trash tree. They worked well together and when finished, the job site was cleaned up nicely. They were friendly and informative. Neighbors were also impressed. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service.

Let’s be real: times are tough. The economy has been a little shaky, inflation keeps nibbling away at paychecks, and a lot of homeowners are looking for ways to save money. That’s why DIY projects are more popular than ever. Paint the deck? Sure. Patch some drywall? No problem.

When it comes to your trees, however - especially tree removal - DIY is not the way to go. In fact, hiring a professional tree company is worth every penny and we'll tell you why.

Safety First, Always

Tree work looks easier than it is. On YouTube, it may seem like someone just ties a rope, revs a chainsaw, and yells "timber!" In reality, removing trees or even branches is one of the most dangerous home-related jobs out there. Think about it:

  • Branches don’t always fall where you think they will,
  • Chainsaws are powerful and unforgiving,
  • There's the risk of falling,
  • Power lines, fences, and houses are often nearby,
  • and so on...

An experienced tree service crew has training, safety gear, and insurance to handle these risks. They know how to cut in a way that directs the fall, how to secure limbs so they don’t crash down on your roof, and how to climb without putting themselves (or anyone) in danger.

You Need the Right Tools for the Job

We can't just skim over the issue of equipment. The average homeowner doesn’t have a bucket truck, climbing harness, rigging ropes, stump grinders, or wood chippers lying around in the garage. Renting them gets expensive fast - not to mention you still need the know-how to use them properly. If you're thinking of buying, then be prepared to shell out big bucks upfront and for ongoing maintenance.

A professional tree company already has everything necessary - and they likely have top-shelf equipment. Instead of spending your weekend sweating it out with a borrowed and dull chainsaw, you can let experts roll up with the right gear and wrap things up in a fraction of the time.

Protecting Your Property is Tricky

secondary

One wrong move with a falling branch and you’re looking at a smashed roof, a broken fence, or a dented car. The money you thought you were saving on DIY suddenly disappears (and then some) in repair bills.

When you hire pros, you’re hiring people who understand how to protect your property. The team at Driscoll Tree Service, for instance, use controlled methods to lower branches, move heavy logs safely, and leave your yard clean when we’re done. Plus, we’re fully insured. That means if something unexpected did happen, then you wouldn’t be left holding the bag.

Risks and Dangers Aren’t Always Obvious

Not all tree issues are visible from the ground. A tree might look healthy but have rot inside the trunk, or it might lean just slightly in a way that makes it more unstable than you realize.

The experienced arborists and climbers at Driscoll Tree Service know what signs to look for before making any cuts. They can identify whether a tree needs removal, pruning, or just a little TLC. That’s custom expertise you can’t get from an online tutorial.

Cleanup Counts

Cutting down a tree is only half the job. What do you do with the mountain of branches, logs, and sawdust afterward? Pile it by the curb and hope the city takes it? Burn it in the backyard (not always allowed, by the way)? A professional tree company can chip, haul, or grind the debris so you’re not left with a mess.

Your Time is Valuable

Even if you could safely handle the work, think about the time it takes. A weekend project can easily stretch into weeks of cutting, dragging, chopping, and cleaning up. That’s time you could spend with family, watching the Dawgs play, or making money.

Hiring pros means the job gets done quickly and efficiently while you keep your weekends free.
