Welcome to Tree Cutting & Trimming Oyster Bay!
Trees in a well-manicured lawn are a beautiful sight which offers an inviting space for your family to relax. Besides the aesthetic appeal, the trees increase the value of your home. Professional values estimate well-maintained trees, and shrubs can increase a property’s value by 14%. With that in mind, here are ten tips to help you choose the right tree care services for your home.
1. Certified Arborist
You need a professional that is highly trained and specializes in the cultivation and care of trees. A qualified arborist will have the necessary certification as proof of their expertise. You can also ask for a business license that proves the legitimacy of their business.
2. Experience
How long has the company been in business? You need three experts that are committed and take pride in their work. As a rule of thumb, choose a company with over four years of experience within the industry.
3. Safety Precautions
An arborist’s job may involve working on huge and complex trees with a higher degree of risk. Ensure that the company uses OSHA standard equipment and follows industry safety protocols to keep them safe. The crew should have protective gear such as hard hats, chainsaw chop, and eye and ear protection.
4. Insurance
Due to the high-risk nature of the job, the tree services provider should have an insurance cover. The insurance indemnifies the technicians working on your trees. It shields you from responsibility if an accident occurs as they work.
5. Proper Equipment
Arborists require a wide range of equipment for their tree care services, including chainsaws, shears, pruners, and rope systems. The tree company you choose should have well-maintained equipment for the job. They should also have post trimming clean up equipment.
6. Reputation
A reputable tree service company should have a string of successful projects under their name. Ask for a list of references. Find out what their former client’s experience was working with the company. Check for online reviews and, whenever possible, check their ranking on Better Business Bureau.
