What To Look For When Hiring a Tree Service

When looking for a North Georgia tree service, few things are more important than finding one that is certified by the International Society of Arborists (ISA). ISA-certified arborists have undergone rigorous training and are qualified to assess tree health and recommend proper treatment. Additionally, it’s just as important to find a tree service that specializes in dangerous tree removal. Many tree services are simply not equipped to handle large or dangerous trees, which can put employees and property at risk.



The Benefits of Hiring a Tree Service

• Expertise: A tree service has the expertise to assess tree health and recommend proper treatment.
• Safety: A tree service is equipped to handle large or dangerous trees safely and efficiently.
• Experience: A tree service has years of experience in providing tree care services.
• Compliance: A tree service is familiar with industry standards and safety regulations.
• Quality: Certified tree services are held to a high standard by the ISA.
• Peace of Mind: When you hire a tree service, you can rest assured knowing that your trees are in good hands.
  

Questions To Ask a Tree Service Before Hiring Them

Hiring a tree service can be a daunting task, but it is important to do your research and ask the right questions in order to find the right one for your needs. Such questions include but are not limited to:

• What certifications do your arborists have?
• What experience do your arborists have?
• Do you specialize in dangerous tree removal?
• What safety precautions do you take when removing trees?
• Are you familiar with industry standards and safety regulations?
• How long have you been providing tree care services?
• Do you have liability insurance?

How To Prepare for a Tree Service Visit

• Remove any objects from around the tree that could be damaged by falling limbs or tree debris.
• Prune any low-hanging branches that could interfere with the tree service crew's work.
• Make sure there is easy access to the tree, and that the ground is clear of obstructions.
• Warn family members to stay clear of the work area and do not forget the pets.
• Contact the tree service in advance to let them know what type of tree you have and what services you need.

What To Expect From the Tree Service Crew

• The tree service crew will arrive on time and in uniform.
• They will be equipped with the proper tools and safety gear to do the job safely and efficiently.
• They will carefully remove any debris from the work area.
• They will take care to protect your property and belongings.

How much do tree services normally cost?

The cost of tree services can vary depending on the type of service you need, the size and age of the tree, and the location of the tree. It is important to remember that tree services are not cheap and that you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a cheap tree service, you are likely to get poor-quality work that could end up costing you more in the long run.

When hiring a tree service, be sure to ask for references and/or testimonials from previous clients. This will help you to make an informed decision about which tree service is right for you.
