Leesburg Tree Service Warns Of The Dangers Of Tree Removal

Leesburg, Virginia -

Genesis Tree Service in Leesburg, Virginia recently discussed the dangers of tree removal, particularly by those without experience. In light of a recent news article about a man who was killed while attempting to remove a tree on his property, the company states that they wanted to urge consumers to leave tree removals up to the professionals.

Pedro Velasquez, a representative for the company says, “Just recently a man was killed when the tree that he was cutting down in his property fell on him. Consumers need to understand that chainsaws are dangerous equipment and that a certain level of knowledge and experience needs to be present when using them. Not only that, but not knowing properly how to remove a tree, which way it may fall or when to get out of the way, could be deadly.”

Velasquez states that Genesis Tree Service employs only highly trained tree cutting professionals that will safely remove trees.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports around 200 deaths in the United States each year as a result of tree removals. While some of these fatal injuries are from professional companies where equipment may have malfunctioned or other experiences caused an accident, most of the statistics reported were from consumers who attempted to remove trees themselves. Statistics also show that there were more than 100,000 injuries in less than a decade involving chainsaws. While all of these numbers were not fatalities, Velasquez states that they did account for a wide number of severe injuries that resulted in loss of limb.

The company states that this latest death is just one more that could have been prevented if consumers would understand that there is more to tree removal than simply buying a chainsaw. Velasquez states that consumers who have never used a chainsaw or even those who have experience with a chainsaw but lack the proper equipment to cut down a relatively large tree should always call on professionals for assistance.

Velasquez states that it is common today for consumers to attempt to save money by doing things themselves. Many consumers have taken to doing their own home remodeling and other DIY projects. He adds however, that there are risks involved with tree removal that makes it a poor choice for a DIY project. “The medical costs associated with accidents related to tree removals are staggering,” says Velasquez. “This alone makes it a bad choice to attempt to remove trees oneself. The cost of having a professional to remove trees is nothing compared to the medical costs that one may endure if they attempt to remove that tree themselves.”

Velasquez states that the company cannot stress enough the importance of having a professional for certain jobs, tree removal being at the top of that list. The company states that not only does removing a tree by someone inexperienced present obvious risks to that person, but it also could present a risk to the property itself. Someone who has no experience in removing trees safely could cause massive damage to the land around the tree or other trees or even a home or other structure in the tree’s path when it falls.

Velasquez says that tree removal is a task that is better left to professionals without question.
