Many reasons play into why trees that surround your home and make up your landscape can need to be cut down. It may be necessary for the safety of the home and the proximity of the tree and its root system. Another reason is that the tree is dead or has become infested and without taking the tree down the rest of the trees in the yard could be affected. Aesthetic value could be another reason. Whatever the reason your landscape needs to be groomed it is important as a homeowner that you interview and hire tree removal contractors to make sure they are insured, trained and have a spotless record from their references.
When the day comes and the trees are marked the professionals will come out to trim and cut the trees down that have been agreed upon for removal. Professional tree removal companies follow certain specific steps as they remove your trees as the

The crew will be looking out for dead branches on the tree and surrounding trees as well as cracks and loose bark on the tree. They will often times "hug" the tree to see what direction the tree is naturally leaning. Observations will be made regarding how the branches are spread about; the actual height of the tree, the drop zone as well as what other branches or trees could be in the way. The base will be examined for root instability. The team will consider weather conditions and wind direction as well BEFORE any branches or trees are cut.
One thing professionals due that we don't often think about as homeowners is the escape route just in case the tree removal does not go exactly as anticipated. Many professionals look for trees close by that can be used as cover and an exit forty five degrees from the side and back of the
can actually leave more space for new trees. Also, cutting down trees gives more multiple resources to contribute for our needs. One tree can produce many things to help we humans and cutting them down can be more of a benefit than a disadvantage. Trees can be very beneficial and be used as many resources through education and basically everyday life. The Truax has a more realistic view on the environment and how we are using it.
trees get the stronger they usually get. When one looks at the cracks and features of the tree, one can notice
"Selective cutting" is the practice by which trees are cut down according to certain ascertainable features. If a tree were so old and large that it inhibited the growth of other trees, then it would be a prime target for timber. Trees can hinder the growth of other trees by means of overbearing roots or overgrowth of branches that would not permit sunlight to reach smaller and less developed trees.(p17-18) "Clear cutting", however, takes an entirely different approach. Rather than a few trees that are undoubtedly ready to be timbered, all the trees in the area would simply be cut down. There would be no selection process involved and nothing would be left of the surrounding trees.(p18-19) The last process is called "sustained yeild". Murphy said, "…others might cut themselves out of existence, but his company would never lack timber ready to fell. It’s annual cut would always be limited and never exceed its timberland’s newgrowth."(p18)
Source G (below) exhibits tree damage in front of a property, also surrounding it is junk and destruction. The tree roots are exposed and it looks like it will fall over if it is not removed. It is a danger hazard that could cause even more disruption to the surrounding area. This demonstrates that by human’s building so close, the natural environment (tree) has no room to grow and is now positioned on the steep formation which continues to erode.
Cutting trees would give us, human beings, a less difficult time living. The article, “Tree Loss” states “ People cut down trees to make room for new farms, housing developments, highways and cities. ” I believe that cutting trees would leave space for new trees to grow. In addition, cutting trees would give space for structures and buildings. Also, the article, “ Tree Loss ” states “ Trees are used to make newspapers, computer paper,

Trees grow into woody plants with a main trunk, many branches, and come in varieties of shapes, leaf types and reproductive organs. Tree roots can spread up to three meters in depth and width, sometimes damaging buildings or footpaths (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis, 2010). All plants photosynthesise, allowing production of their own food, by converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight energy. Therefore as all organisms release carbon dioxide through respiration, only plants use it to produce oxygen, which is a circular process (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis, 2010).
Safely removing a tree takes a great deal of experience, training, specialized equipment, and important safety measures. As such, its important to hire Certified Arborists who have the background and resources to safely remove dead trees without causing

The current state of our global climate is very fragile; we have renewable and nonrenewable resources that are being handled irresponsibly, which has created a host of problems for future generations to contemplate. Lumber has long been an invaluable resource to operate throughout history. Modern housing technology relies on lumber to supply the framework a house is built on. Vast arrays of other products such as furniture are also driven by lumber. Logging trees is harmful when no action to replace what was taken out of them occurs. As global warming has continued to increase, our climate changes, and we have facilitated this increase by the deforestation of our rain forests. Deforestation is not a unique modern problem, the ancient civilizations experienced deforestation before the decline of their civilizations. Developing countries are so focused on economic development they cast aside the ecological value of their rain forest. Deforestation occurs when people cut down trees haphazardly, and as George Santayana famously notes, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” we must learn from the past and adapt solutions to secure our future.

Most of trees are private property, but that does not mean that they are not part of the community also. Since trees are everywhere, there is a lot of planning that goes into the placement of trees so that they benefit everyone. Trees provide people with privacy for their homes and yards. Trees also serve an architectural function as well. Many architects use trees to improve the looks of a businesses and public areas to make people more at home.
Trees are usually considered as bland, unusual objects that are usually taken for granted; however, I believe there is more to a tree that meets the eye. They supply oxygen and shade. During the holidays, trees are able to spread holiday cheer by wearing holiday decorations. Through providing, they are always beneficial to the needs of others. Rather than having striking beauty like a flower, trees have are grounded and possess a gentle beauty; they are adapted wildflowers to their environment. In fact, if I had to compare myself to an inanimate object, I would choose a tree. A tree has many characteristics in common with me. Characteristics like relying on our roots, strength and observation, and helping others and leaving behind a powerful legacy are a few of the traits we share. All of which I believe are admirable qualities to possess.
When many people hear about the term “landscape”, they immediately think that it means “nature”. The natural landscape does play an important role in our society but what is more important is the landscape that we make and occupy. So, what exactly is “landscape”? The term can be illiterate in many ways but the definition given by the European Landscape Convention is perhaps the most useful and widely agreed one. It states that a landscape is ‘an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and human factors.’ This definition captures both the idea of landscape being physical like a tract of land, but also something that is mind and social shared, something that is perceived by the people. When it comes to Landscape Architecture, the International Federation of Landscape Architects says that ‘Landscape Architect conduct research and advise on planning, design, and stewardship of the outdoor environment and spaces, both within and beyond the built environment, and its
Trees are one of the most important parts of the biosphere. They provide oxygen, which is one of the largest producers of life. Humans live and strive off of oxygen every second of their lives. Not just humans need oxygen to survive and thrive on Earth, but animals, and other creatures on the planet do as well. Trees are a huge part of all life and if they were gone, there would consequently be no form of life. Not only do trees create all forms of life, but they create beautiful surroundings for an area and create a comfortable and shady environment for all surrounding life. Even though trees seem to be everywhere you look, the planet is losing billions upon billions of them a year. Anywhere from three billion to six billion trees are lost every year, ("How Many Trees Are Cut Down Every Year? Rainforest Action Network Blog. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Apr. 2014”). With this fact in thought, it shows that planting one tree can create a bigger difference than you realize.
