Introduction
The most important consideration while felling a tree is safety. Tree cutting can be done by anybody but is preferably wise to hire a specialist. Tree Cutting & Felling Tips and Techniques are necessary for the exercise:
1. Get the proper equipment
The precise cutting and protective equipment for felling a tree depending on size are preferable. For a small tree, it is wise to use manually operated equipment like an ax and a panga. This will save on costs and time. Having a large piece of tree to fell, you will need to use mechanized equipment like a power saw for the reason of saving much time and cost of the labor involved
2. Wedging the trunk
While cutting and felling a tree of any size, properly ensure you wedge it by the sliding direction so as to fall within the designated zone. This will ensure the falling tree does not damage the surrounding trees and structures. You can achieve this by having the chainsaws that can create weak points on the trunk more quickly and have it fall to your direction of choice.
3. Get the licenseĀ
Cutting and felling a tree require you have the license for doing the same. This is important to ensure that little or no damages are resulting. This will enable you to adequately consider the surrounding area close to the felling zone and hence the need to expertise on the falling activity.
