You may be a great handyman and think that you can save yourself some money when you are thinking of cutting a tree down, but it is best to save this kind of work for the professionals. There are much more risks to cutting down a tree and it is never as easy as trying out the new chainsaw. 

There are different reasons that you might need to have a tree taken down such as if it is leaning too close to your home or to the neighbors property or if you find that your yard has been taken over by termites. Even a tree that is rotting can cause damage to your property if it is not taken care of properly.

Cutting down a tree in a residential area can cause the tree to get stuck in power lines, can fall down on your home, vehicles or even your neighbors property or can even lead to death if it falls on you. 

Not only can cutting down your own tree cause a lot of damage to your person or property, it can also cost you a lot of unnecessary fees and bills. Things can go wrong where you wouldn’t even expect them to and if you do your own work, this can cause you to void your insurance warranty, leaving you with piles of bills to cover damages.
