Land Clearing Tree Removal

Tree Cutting Services
There are lots of do-it yourself projects, but land clearing would not be one I would recommend tackling on your own without a tree removal expert like Jacksonville Area Tree Removal

Clearing land is hard work, and usually involves lots of large heavy equipment not usually operated or owned by weekend warriors. We are not saying you can’t do this, but know that it’s a very large-scale project, even if it’s a small building lot.

Chainsaw

The list of land clearing equipment can start with simple hand tools and extend all the way up to enormous bulldozers used for clearing. You will need a powerful commercial grade chain saw or two and all the safety equipment that one uses with chain saws.

If you’ve never operated a chain saw, then you must obtain training. Cutting down trees is very dangerous. Even when a tree has fallen, it can have stored energy that can cause the tree to roll or move in such a way to cause the saw to bind or the tree to fall on you.

Chain saws used all day in the field require sharpening. If you use a handy special tool, you can field dress a chain in about ten minutes.

Ways of Clearing

There are many ways to do land clearing. The method used is often based on what happens to the trees and bushes that are being removed. It is always recommended to employee or hire an expert in tree removal and clearing, like Jacksonville Area Tree Removal, with a professional they will have the right equipment to clear your lot quickly, professionally, and safely.

Check your area to see if there are company’s that will take your trees and brush for free.

You may locate a contractor that will clear most of your small trees for free. If this happens, be prepared to deal with the left-over branches, that’s left behind.

Some land-clearing experts will push down the entire tree, and then move it over to a place on the land where it can be processed. This will leave you with trees suitable for lumber processing.

Not all trees need to be ground up or cut for firewood. At Jacksonville Area Tree removal we have machines that can grind up entire stumps and we also have clean up services..

Permits

You will need to check with your local government and state officials to see which permits you need. There can be many regulations regarding land clearing including, but not limited to, timber permits, silt fencing, tree ordinances, burning, composting, burying organic material, and more.

Land clearing can be highly regulated in some areas because some may consider it to be a harmful process. Depending on your area, they may or may not allow you to burn the brush and limbs, while other areas might require you to grind and compost the trees and bushes.

Tree Machine Rentals

You often can rent medium-sized equipment that can do a somewhat decent job of clearing land. A powerful skid-steer loader can be rented that is able to move stumps that weigh over two tons. a tracked excavator backhoe can dig drainage trenches and remove stumps with ease.

Do you have the skills?

These types of mechanical equipment be very proficient for an experienced user. It can take hours or days for a beginner to learn how to get the most efficiency from these machines, so don’t expect to get lots of work done the first few times using rented land-clearing machinery.

If you decide to rent heavy mechanical equipment like this, you want to ask the rental company if they have a training facility where you can learn how to safely use the machines.

If you decide to cut down trees using a chain saw, avoid cutting down several trees that fall down upon one another. You could end up with a mess of limbs that make it hard to get in to remove the debris.

Safety First

When starting a land-clearing project try to recruit helpers. You will have some hand work to do with smaller tools and it can become cumbersome if you try to do this alone.

For safety reasons it is also a good idea to have others there for safety reasons. If someone gets hurt, you will have someone else who can give first aid or call for help.

Once you have cleared your land you will need to assess if erosion will be a problem. One way of holding the topsoil in place is to seed the ground with some sort of grass that will help with erosion. Talk with a local extension agent or government soil district employee who knows how to preserve this valuable natural resource.

To insure your land clearing project goes smoothly, quickly and safely it is always recommended you use a professional tree removal service like Jacksonville Area Tree Removal Service. You will be assured the job gets done right,.

How to Pick a Tree Service

How to pick a Tree Service

Jacksonville Tree Service

While smaller tree care projects, such as pruning and small tree removals, are certainly within the abilities of the average property owner, large tree jobs should be left to the professionals.

Our motto at Jacksonville Area Tree Service is that if a homeowner can keep both feet on the ground then they should call a professional tree service company in Jacksonville, FL to service their trees. However, even this prudent decision is not without risks. There are many under-insured, unlicensed, and even unscrupulous tree service companies in the area.

Therefore, in this blog, we offer tips and suggestions on what to consider when selecting a tree service in Jacksonville.

Licensed Service

Are they licensed in the state of Florida and do they have insurance, both for their business (liability) and their workers (workers compensation)? This question is the most important aspect of your research into area tree service companies.

Without the proper licensing and insurance, you as the property owner, expose yourself to both financial and legal risks if an accident should happen. Always ask those you are receiving tree service estimates from if they hold the proper licensing and insurances.

Qualifications

Do they have the necessary credentials and qualifications? There are several tree care associations in the country that are signs a tree service company is properly credentialed and qualified. These include the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and the International Society of Arborists (ISA). Further the Better Business Bureau is always a good general source for information about a business’s reputation.

Offer Estimates

Do they provide a written estimate and detail all the work estimates? Always get a firm written estimate that details the exact nature of work to be performed. We have seen numerous situations where work is not documented only to expose the property owner to additional expenses when the work is performed. Further, make sure the estimate details the exact use of equipment to be used. You don’t want to discover the day of the job that heavy equipment will be used potentially damaging your lawn and landscape.

Did you obtain multiple estimates for the work, and did you compare and contrast these estimates? Obtaining several (at least 3) estimates is wise in that it will provide you with a variety of opinions, costs, and approaches. However, all estimates will not be the same, so it is further prudent to assess each estimate in terms of the work scope involved. A more expensive estimate actually might not be more expensive if it involves more work.

References

Did you obtain references from multiple sources? Obtain references from the tree service business themselves and make sure they are current (within 1-3 months). Old references are not necessarily indicative of current business practices. Additionally, check online reference sources, such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, etc. These sources provide a variety of reference material and will help you make a better decision.

How to pick a qualified, professional Jacksonville tree service to perform tree removal or tree trimming need not be difficult using these suggestions. Just following these guidelines and you will be assured of hiring a top-notch tree care company.

Tree Pruning in Jacksonville Florida

Proper Tree Pruning in Jacksonville, Florida
Trees are amazing gifts of nature. They give us so much and we can benefit from them a lot. In return, we need to give them the proper care that they need, so they can thrive longer and healthier. Trees may need different kinds of caring depending on their species and age, and even their location. Pruning is one very important technique to maintain your tree’s health and appearance. That is why it is highly recommended to prune the tree regularly to keep it healthy. Another factor to consider when pruning a tree is where it is located. For example, trees in Jacksonville, Florida are recommended to be pruned only after 2-5 years after being planted. Then after that, you can prune it 1 to 3 years, depending on its type. Just be aware that trees in Florida mostly have shallow roots, so it is important to allow them to root first.
​
Proper Pruning Cuts
It is crucial to know the proper pruning technique to avoid harming the tree. You should cut at the collar of the branch where the branch attaches to the main trunk. When you do this, you also lessen the chance of decay to spread into the main trunk of the tree. Also, always wear proper protective attire when performing tree pruning and use the proper tools to avoid injury.

Pruning of Trees Before a Storm or a HurricanePrune for Strength- eliminating multi-trunks and leaders will stimulate the growth of just one main trunk. It is also important to remove any diseased or injured branches or limbs.


Prune for Form- prune the tree to restore its beautiful form. Eliminate the excess lateral branches to produce a ladder effect when the tree matures.
​
Topping or Hatracking
If there is one thing that professional arborists don’t do to a tree is topping. A huge amount of the canopy is removed from the tree during topping. After it is done, you are only left with branch stubs that can attract pests and insects.
​
Excessive Lifting
This practice is mostly done to pave way for structures and vehicles; however, this is a poor pruning practice. Excessive lifting removes most of the lower branches that will, in turn, cause the tree to be top heavy and will increase the risk of branch failure. Further, it deforms the tree.
​
Choosing a Tree Service
Do not choose just any tree service that offers you their service. It is vital to know the right people to do your tree care because it can be dangerous and it involves risks. Choosing the wrong tree company will cost you more money and may damage your property. Here are some of the thing you should consider when selecting a tree company:
The tree company should have a  License and don’t hesitate to ask for documentation
Should have good reviews on Yelp, Google, and listed in Yellow Pages
Has insurance for property damage and personal liability. Again, ask for documentation.
