Tree Trimming Service in Dayton, MD
Do you have a tree trimming service in Dayton, MD sending over some professionals to work on your property? If so, a little bit of preparation can go a long way toward making the job run as smoothly as possible. Here’s a bit of information about the steps you can take to prepare before your tree trimmers arrive:
- Give them space to park: You’re going to need the street in front of your home to be kept relatively clear—you can estimate a need for about three regular parking spaces to fit the truck and chipper. In addition, any trees that are being worked on should not have cars underneath them. This may or may not be an issue you need to worry about, depending on where the trees are located on your property. If you have trees being worked on in your backyard, it might be necessary to clear out your driveway.
- Protect personal property: Any personal items that could potentially be damaged by falling tree debris should be moved away from the area where the trimmers will be working. Do this in advance—your tree trimmers will not do it for you.
- Utility interruptions: Be prepared for some potential interruptions to some of your services like internet, cable television, land line phones or even power. This doesn’t always happen, but any time you’re working on trees near power lines there’s at least a chance of an outage. Make sure you’ve got the number of your utility service providers so you can quickly call them out to restore the service.
- Clean up dog droppings: Make sure your yard is clear of dog droppings by the time the crew arrives, because they’re likely going to be running around your yard preparing to set up for the job. They cannot have their gear contaminated, and if they do, they’ll need to clean it off, which will only delay the work being done on your trees.
- Decide whether or not you need to be there: You are not required to be home while your tree trimmers are working. In fact, if you’re able to work while it’s being done this will reduce the cost of the job on your end, as you won’t have to give up a day’s wages. However, if you have specific ideas about how you want your tree trimmed or how far back specifically you want the trimmers to go, you are certainly welcome to remain at home and give your input to the people who have come out to work on your trees.
- Prepare for debris: There is always going to be some debris left behind from the job. In some cases, the tree trimming service will take it with them, either for a small fee or built into the cost of the job. There may be leaves and sticks to clean up. For more significant trimming projects, you might have wood left over that would make good firewood. Finally, for complete tree removal, there may be stumps left behind, which you’ll need to have ground up. The stump grindings can make great mulch, or can be dried and used as tinder in your fires.
