How do I know if the person bidding my tree work is actually qualified to do the job?
There are several things to consider when hiring a tree care professional.
They are:
  1. Ask if he/she is Certified Arborist and ask to see his/her credentials.*
  2. Ask for proof of liability insurance.
  3. Ask for proof of Worker's Compensation insurance.
  4. Ask if they are a member of the Better Business Bureau and check their standing.
  5. Ask for several job references.
*Note:  Many tree workers are members of tree industry associations and use the associations' logos in advertising and business cards.  However, being a member of an association does not necessarily mean one is a Certified Arborist.  A Certified Arborist will have credentials stating such.

 

Why is it important to use a Certified Arborist for my tree work?
A Certified Arborist has formal arboriculture training in the tree care industry.   Just like you wouldn't let someone without formal training give you a root canal or perform open-heart surgery, it should likewise be the same for those who care for your trees.  Trees are living things and once mutilation has occurred, it cannot be undone.  Most often, this is caused by inexperienced people without formal arboriculture training.  If the weakened tree lives, branches are likely to break off in high winds and heavy snow.  If the tree dies, it will cost to remove it and to replant.  Either way, it will require frequent attention, which becomes expensive.

A Certified Arborist will save you time and money by applying professional knowledge the first time.

 

Is tree care really worth the investment?
Well maintained trees and shrubs are like having money in the bank.  Proper maintenance of your landscape is essential to keeping it looking attractive and realizing its full investment potential.  The results of a Gallup Landscape Survey concluded that:
  1. Landscaping is a definite factor in selling or buying a home.
  2. Landscaping adds 15% to the value of a property.
  3. Landscaping provides an excellent return when compared to remodeling.

What is "topping" trees?
"Topping" is a term used to describe a detrimental method of cutting trees practiced by inexperienced people without formal arboriculture training.  The word "Topping" could serve as a warning to you that the person isn't qualified to do the job you're wanting done.
