Do you have a tree that needs to come down? Tree removal is a tricky task that is best left to professionals – but what happens when homeowners take this dangerous job into their own hands? Hilarity ensues! The following tree removal videos are meant to make you laugh, but there are some important lessons to be learned from their mistakes. Whatever you do, don’t take any advice from these unlucky amateur lumberjacks!

What’s worse than destroying your own property? Damaging your neighbor’s property! This funny tree video may have ended in a lawsuit.

Still thinking about doing your own tree removal? Please reconsider! Nobody was hurt in any of the above tree removal fail videos, but each and every situation could have been deadly. Tree maintenance causes hundreds of injuries every year, from broken bones to sawed-off fingers. Don’t let your next tree removal job end up on YouTube – leave it to the professionals!
