How do I pick out a good tree service?

If you need to have your trees trimmed or removed,  or maybe some PHC (plant health care), or maybe just a stump ground? You're probably wondering how to pick out a good tree service. I'll try to help you with that.

The number 1 thing to do is to check reviews. Key points you want to see is a trend of quality tree work, fair prices, and great service. Also, whether the estimator has a good hand-shake! Google maps is great for seeing and posting reviews. If you do not get google maps, and you are on google, you may have to clense your computer of the Search Encrypt virus as many people have had to do!

The next thing you want to look for is whether the company carries general liability on their service. GL should be at least 2 million.

Also you want to check for licenses and/or tree certifications.

Last, you may want to check  how many crews they have. Big companies do not have great

 quality control. Also, whether their employees are legal citizens or not. If there going to break laws and cut corners on labor they'll cut corners on your trees. No pun intended. :^)

Hope this helps in finding a good company!!!

Once you do find a good company, make sure you get everything promised in writing, not only talk and a handshake. :^)
