Maintaining the landscape is one of the joys of being a homeowner, but there are some jobs that need to be done by the professionals. One of those jobs is the removal and maintenance of large trees. Many homeowners try to do these things on their own, but there are a lot of dangers involved, so it is best to hire a professional Tree Company. Here are some good questions to ask any company before hiring them for the job.

The first item is to consider is to see their insurance is and business license. There are a lot of factors that come into play when trimming or removing large trees, such as electrical wires, large equipment, and how high the team has to go up the tree. Each factor brings quite a bit of danger, and it’s important the company is properly insured to protect the property and their employees.

The next question to ask is what their experience is. The tree company should have extensive knowledge on different trees and also safe practices for maintaining or removing those trees. With a good base of experience, the tree service will be familiar with the equipment to use in different situations. This can be the difference in making the job very easy or very difficult.

The third question to ask is what other services they offer. There are a lot of individuals that will market themselves as a Tree Company but only cut trees down. Those individuals may not have the right insurance or license to do the job of taking down large trees safely. Be sure the company is, indeed, a full-service tree company with the proper license and insurance.

The fourth question to ask is what their pricing is. It would be beneficial to shop a few companies because the pricing can be very different for the same services. Remember that experience and knowledge will come at a price, so the least expensive bid is not always the best deal. Other things that may change the price are whether or not the company has the time and also how difficult the job will be.

Asking these four questions will help make the process of finding a full-service tree company very easy. For more information on tree trimming services, contact Jose Martinez Tree Service Inc. You can also connect them on Facebook.
