You may need to do this if you are afraid that the tree will fall on your house or someone else's home. If you can't afford to hire a company, you can cut down the tree using your own hands. If you don't have the required tools, you may be able to find them in a home improvement store.
If you have a tree that has been infected with disease or insects or if it is falling apart, it might be a good idea to hire a tree service to remove it. The cost will vary depending on the size of the tree and the method that is used to remove it.
After the tree has been removed, you will need to clear the land around it. It will be a good idea to dig a trench around the tree trunk to prevent the tree roots from growing back. After you have cleared the land, you can plant something else there.
