If you have a tree that is dead or dying, and if you own the property on which the tree grows, then you may consider removing the tree. Before you grab an axe or a chainsaw to do the job yourself, however, take a moment and read these tips for removing a tree from your yard:
When felling a tree, even a small tree, it's best to plan an escape route to prevent injury, harm, or death. After making the first cuts, and before making the falling cut, scope out the area and make sure that you have removed all implements or anything else that might be in your running path. Make the final falling cut, throw down the chainsaw or axe, and then run away from the direction of the lay. Even if the tree does not fall immediately, it will fall eventually after making the final cut. If you need to revisit the tree to make a deeper falling cut, make sure that you don't walk into the path of the lay.
