Advises When Searching For A Tree Service

By Richard Olson


Professional experts are needed when working too big and too dangerous jobs for taking care of your trees. When the work needs climbing and not only on firm ground then hiring professional is essential. Wildlife, fences, electrical wires, homes or buildings could be factors that may pose a problem when working so a proper training must be required.

But getting someone to work on your tree has its own risk as well. There are some things that you need to know before acquiring their help. So when hiring the best possible tree service Barrie, Central Ontario, Canada has to offer, ask them these things.

It is essential that they could provide a copy of insurance certificate and work contract so that you will be aware if you have any liabilities whenever there are injuries, accidents and damages. Credentials are also important and check if they have someone who is a certified arborist. An arborist working close to power lines must have a qualified line clearance too.

A list of their previous clients so you will have a reference and can check their previous works. Do not request for those jobs they had years ago but request for those that are more recent so you would be able to visit and check their work. They should be willing to share them with you if they are a good and reputable company.

Ask them how they would be approaching the project and what equipment they will use. You do not want their heavy equipment damaging your lawn and flowerbeds unnecessarily and inform them the location of various things in the lawn, like sprinkler heads, if ever they need to pass through it. Photographing the area is a good way to compare and determine if there have been damages and ask them as well on how they will deal with the possible damages and the cleaning up after.

An estimate with details on how much exactly the work will cost so that you will be able to compare it to others. Ask on the duration of the work they will do. Most cheaper services take days to finish while the more expensive ones may just take a few hours.

The appearance of the trucks they use and their equipment are good indicators of their professionalism. They must be clean and properly cared for. The design and content of their website could also be use as an indication of their professionalism as well. These are clues on how they are running their company and the way they treat trees.

If you are not going to remove your tree, do not let them use spikes in climbing so that it will not get unhealthy wounds from it. And do not let them do a topping which is practice of removing live parts from the top of the tree. When they are advertising doing this, then it is better to find another company.

Make sure that they are wearing protective gear and using protective equipment when working on your project. It is a requirement by law and you must avoid any accidents as much as possible. Do not forget these things when you are planning to have your tree service.
