The most important step when felling a tree is preparation. This includes making sure that you're allowed to fell the tree and gathering the necessary protective gear and tools for the job. If you have any reservations about cutting the tree at this point, or if you don't have enough time to do advanced planning, then we highly suggest just hire a professional tree cutting service. No amount of videos you watch on YouTube about proper tree felling should convince you to take on the job yourself without an experienced tree lopper or arborist Sydney with you.
