What to Expect - Choosing Tree Services
Whether you require tree and stump removal services, treatment of distressed trees, or you are interested in doing a "landscape makeover," you should expect the following from your Tree Service Professional.
Estimates
Depending on the complexity of the project, expect your tree service to provide a detailed written estimate outlining what services will be provided. They should not object to a written contract with exact details of the services afforded, when they plan to arrive on site, and when they plan to complete the work.
Liability Coverage
Tree trimming and removal can be hazardous work both for client and service provider. A reputable tree service provider will have more than adequate liability and workmen’s compensation insurance coverage; not only for their employees’ protection, but for possible damage to yours or your neighbors’ property
Check References / Ask Questions:
Thoroughly check references; those provided by the tree service, as well as word-of-mouth. To help sort multiple bids for a particular project in mind, it has been our experience to ask some of the following questions of the references.
- "Who Arrived to Execute and Supervise the Work?"
- "Did They Complete the Work as Promised?"
- "What Did the Site Look Like Once They Left?"
