Tips On Becoming an Intelligent Tree Care Consumer

Here are some good tips on hiring good professional help:

1. Avoid companies that advertise topping, an injurious and unacceptable practice.
    
2. Seek recommendations from people who have had professional tree care work done in the past.
    
3. You should be aware that the credentials of someone calling himself an arborist could vary widely. Don’t just hire someone with a chain saw who knocks on your door! Look for the company displaying the credentials of a professional.
    
4. When you meet with the arborist:
    
   1. Ask to see current certificates of liability and worker’s compensation insurance.
       
   2. Ask for references, and check on the quality of their work and level of service.
       
   3. Don’t be lured by a bargain.
       
   4. Insist on a signed contract as to cost, dates, when work is to be performed and exactly what is to be done.
