Cutting trees will be a lot safer if you have someone to help you. Aside from having someone to hand you your tools, an assistant can help alert you when the tree begins to fall. Your assistant can stand at a safe distance to observe while you cut your tree. When you've cut through the tree deep enough, they can warn you right away so you can rush to your escape route as your tree descends. Without an assistant, you might stay in the danger zone longer than necessary and get seriously harmed.

Keep in mind these 6 easy tips for tree cutting before felling your trees yourself. They can help assure success and potentially save your life. However, if you feel uncomfortable with the risks of DIY tree removals, hire a properly trained and equipped professional. Never compromise your own safety to save a few dollars. Be ready to take on this enormous task or just hire someone that knows what they are doing.
