Attempting to trim or remove trees around your Overland Park home by yourself is a dangerous project. The risks of doing it on your own are not worth the benefit. You should leave complicated projects such as these to professionals who have the correct equipment, extensive experience, and who believe in safe practices.
Falling off of a roof or ladder is one of the most common injuries when trimming or cutting trees. Be mindful of how far out you are leaning and don’t try to extend your reach beyond your normal span. Someone else should be standing nearby to spot you while you work on the ladder to serve as an extra set of eyes for safety reasons. Working on top of a roof can be even trickier due to the steep incline, wearing improper footwear, or walking on crumbling materials. Whether you are on a ladder or a roof, it’s not enough to be cautious.
Trees are home to various animals and insects, so by trimming or cutting down a tree you are disturbing the wildlife living there. It is highly possibility to be attacked by small animals such as: squirrels, skunks, and raccoons or by insects like wasps or bees.
Tree trimming and tree removal require the correct protective gear from head-to-toe.

Always assume that a power line is live. Avoid coming into any contact with the lines and be careful that neither your body nor the tools cross paths with the lines. When power lines hang too close to the house or trees, there is an increased risk of danger to you and your property. Call a professional to fix this issue instead of trying to handle it yourself — the results of touching a power line could be fatal.
