“What could possible go wrong?” they ask, illustrating with this ‘Don’t try this at home!’ video showing the results of an inept attempt with unfortunate results.
A good rule of thumb is if you can’t do the work standing on the ground hire an arborist.

Tree cutting by yourself can be a task if you’ve never done it before. Before looking at how to go about tree cutting by yourself with a chainsaw, let’s look at the safety equipment you will need.
OSHA requires that anyone who operates a chainsaw wears these items. Many people may think they don’t have to use them since they are on their own property; however it’s definitely a good idea.
- Head Protection
- Eye and Face Protection
- Hearing Protection
- Chainsaw Protective Chaps or Pants
- Chainsaw Protective Footwear
If you’re inexperienced using the tools needed for the job. Especially when using power tools, such as chainsaws or others tools that could cause serious injury.
If the limbs you need to remove are especially heavy. It’s possible for the limb to fall improperly and hurt the person doing the work.
If the limbs that need removing are too high on the tree for you to reach. It takes some skill to climb a tree or use the extended tools required for such a job.
If you have a tree that you don’t feel completely confident in handling consult with an ISA Certified Arborist.
There are several general approaches to pruning, each for a specific purpose, including:
- Cleaning: Removing dead, diseased or weak branches from the crown of a tree.
- Thinning: Removing branches to allow more light to penetrate, reducing stress on heavy limbs and encouraging retention of the tree’s natural shape.
- Raising: Removing lower branches to provide clearings for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians and views.
- Reduction: Cutting back tree limbs to reduce the size of the tree and make room for utility lines.
Great family business with people that are truly caring. I would recommend.
Very friendly and did the work my way… Will use again
Jimmy’s crew just finished our tree trimming job. We have a 30′ tall Queen’s Crape Myrtle tree that needed a Certified Arborist’s knowledge to do it right and not damage the tree. Everyone’s attitudes, aptitudes, and attention to detail was superb. And we are REALLY thrilled with the quality of job that they provided.
These guys are amazing and the prices are very good. Efficient and very good! There is a reason why they have been around for a long time.
Thanks to all the team at Jimmy’s trimmed a large Bismarck palm and removed another tree growing near power line. Very clean job, quick, efficient and on time.
I have used Jimmy ‘s Tree Service for many years. They always do a very professional job of trimming my palms and oaks. I highly recommend this company.
