How to remove a small tree
Water your tree the day before to soften the soil for easier digging.
Gather your safety equipment. Your health is the most important thing. Protect yourself with a helmet, safety goggles, respirator, hearing protection, steel toe boots, gloves and clothing to prevent cuts.
Clear the area and make people aware of your project. Make the surrounding environment safe for everybody.
Determine the intended and possible unintended direction for the tree fall. You will be chopping down the tree accordingly. Plan and clear your escape routes opposites of the desired tree fall direction.
Make an angled cut into the side of three. Make a 70 degree cut facing the direction where the tree will be falling. Cut approximately 1/4th of the tree diameter.
Start cutting from the other side. Make a horizontal and flat cut from the opposite direction to keep the fall even and predictable. Stop cutting when you have around 1/10th of the diameter left.
Leave your hinge, pull away from your saw or axe and take your primary escape route. If the tree is falling in your direction, take the secondary escape route.
Dig 6 feet deep for every inch of tree trunk width. Reach the entire root system and dig around the roots. Cut the root ball into smaller pieces and remove it.
