Choosing the right tree company is crucial for the safety of your property and the health of your trees. Here are some key things to look for:

Credentials and Qualifications

• Licenses: Verify that the company holds the necessary licenses and insurance for your area. This protects you from liability in case of accidents or damage.
• Certifications: Look for arborists certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or similar organizations. They have the expertise to properly care for your trees.
• Experience: Choose a company with a proven track record and experience in handling similar projects to yours.

Safety

• Safety Practices: Ask about the company's safety policies and procedures. Observe if they wear proper gear and use safe equipment.
• Insurance: Ensure they have worker's compensation insurance to cover any injuries to their employees on your property.

Services and Communication

• Free Estimates: Most reputable companies offer free estimates in person, allowing you to discuss your needs and get a clear understanding of the project.
• Clear Communication: The company should be able to explain the work clearly, answering your questions thoroughly and addressing your concerns.
• Written Contracts: Before any work begins, have a written contract outlining the scope of work, estimated timeline, costs, and payment terms.
