Choosing the right Tree Care company

Trees are an essential asset in anyone’s property. They don’t only make the surrounding more attractive, but they also add privacy as well as provide shade on a hot summer afternoon. But, owning trees in your yard comes with the responsibility of keeping them healthy and in good shape. If there is a dying or a diseased tree in your yard, it is a must that you have it removed immediately before the situation gets out of hand. The importance of choosing the right tree care company cannot be overstated.

No matter how simple or complex the task is, when you have a tree that needs to be eliminated, it is best to leave it to the hands of a professional, especially when you are talking about a large tree. Always bear in mind that tree removal is no walk in the park; that is why it is crucial to choose a company that has a good reputation in the tree industry.

1. Certification. 

Erase the words “arborist” and “tree guy” from your brain. There is a big difference between an arborist and a certified arborist. Simply put, your certified arborist has studied to learn the proper ways to safely (OSHA and ISA standards) prune and remove trees based on the discoveries they make as research and innovation continues. 

Taking the time to get certified means a person takes the service seriously, has pride in their work and is committed to progressing with the industry. This will more than likely guarantee that they will be honest with you and have your best interest in mind.

2. Proper equipment.

Make sure that the person you hire is using the proper equipment for the job. Never let anyone wear spikes on their shoes when pruning your trees, as this can cause harm to the tree itself.

3. Safety.

Hiring a provider that follows OSHA and industry safety standards is vital. Make sure that the crew will wear hard hats, chainsaw chaps and eye and ear protection. This can be the difference between having a serious injury or fatality on your property or having everyone go home unharmed. 

4. Ask questions.

The more a certified arborist is involved in our industry’s events and task, the more you can trust they will treat your property and trees like they belong to their favorite grandmother
