Big or small, your project is a significant investment. That’s why we recommend interviewing at least three qualified tree service professionals before making a hiring decision. Ask the following questions to determine whether a pro is the right fit for your project.
Are you insured?
Tree trimming or removal can be dangerous work. It’s important that both your home and your pro are covered in the event of an accident. Never hire a pro who isn’t properly insured.
Will you haul away limbs and wood?
Tree-related projects can leave behind a lot of mess. Be sure your pro plans to remove any branches or large pieces of wood. It’s important to ask about stump grinding if you’re removing a tree — it’s common for this to come at an additional cost.
Are you familiar with my type of tree?
Certain trees require specific care. Avoid hiring a pro who isn’t familiar with the upkeep necessary for your trees — especially when it comes to preventing diseases and infections.
Will you use harnesses and hardhats?
Be sure your pro plans to use a harness and hardhat. Avoid hiring a pro who doesn’t use the proper safety equipment.
How will you minimize damage to my yard?
Falling limbs, debris and heavy trucks can damage your landscaping. Be sure your tree pro has a plan to prevent harming your lawn, gardens or outdoor living areas.
