Are you unsure how to choose the best tree service for your needs? If you’ve been looking online for a reputable tree service company that specializes in your tree needs, you’re sure to have found that there are MANY to choose from. These 3 Steps to Choosing the Right Tree Service will help you on your way to finding the right one for you!

Step 1: Is the Tree Service Company Licensed and Insured?

As you can imagine, this above all else, is the most important question you should ask! Why? Because even though climbing trees may be one of your favorite childhood pastimes, the job is much more serious than than child’s play. Because of this, the process of tree removal or trimming requires professionals to climb higher than you’d realize. And it’s not just the towering heights, but the use of power tools. Very sharp and dangerous power tools! Not to mention, in a lot of cases they are working close to power lines. Our team at Tally Trees is LICENSED AND INSURED. Thus providing you the peace of mind that aside from their professionalism, they’ve taken all the necessary precautions. This ensures that you’re not held liable for any damage to persons or property.

Step 2: What are the Tree Services credentials?

Let’s be honest, just because your tree guy is outfitted with a ladder and a saw doesn’t mean that he is capable of performing complex, dangerous tree work. There a multitude of factors involved with tree removal, trimming and maintenance. Ask questions such as: Are your employees trained and qualified? Do you follow all necessary safety precautions? Do you comply with industry standards? Don’t be afraid to “hurt” a company’s feelings! Tally Trees welcomes ALL questions! The more informed you are, the better the overall experience will be! There are of course hundreds of questions you could ask, but these 3 Steps to Choosing the Right Tree Service will hopefully give you a starting point during your interview process.

Step 3: Will the Tree Service provide you with referrals? And are the referrals honest? Can they show proof of work?

Surely we wouldn’t suggest that there are companies out there that LIE! No, we aren’t suggesting it, we are telling you they do. Therefore it is essential to ask for referrals of work related to the project you have at hand. Tree trimming, tree removal, pruning, landscaping, stump grinding, and the like can be very different from one another. You wouldn’t ask a doctor for his referrals for, say, tax preparation, would you? NO. Request pictures, videos, references…..the more you know, the more confident you will feel when choosing the right tree service. Tally trees can provide all of these. Just ask! And if you are in need of a service that they feel is out of their scope, they will point you in the right direction!
