You can ask your neighbors for the address of the nearest tree service company. There are a number of reasons why you may need to get a permit to remove a tree.
After the tree has been removed, you will need to clear the land around it. It will be a good idea to dig a trench around the tree trunk to prevent the tree roots from growing back. After you have cleared the land, you can plant something else there.
If you hire a tree removal service, you should ask them what tools are needed and whether they have experience doing this type of work. It will be helpful if they will explain the tree removal process to you. You should always look into the safety precautions before you begin removing a tree.
