4 Things to Look for in a Local Tree Trimming Service

Do you have a tree on your property that's getting out of control?

It's lovely to have lots of trees in your yard, both for their natural beauty and the benefit they provide to all other organisms. When a tree gets too big or is past its prime, then it can pose a lot of problems, however.

Whether your tree has loads of dead branches or it's encroaching on a grumpy neighbor's yard, you might want to have it trimmed. In this post, we're going to help you find the best local tree trimming service by telling you exactly what you should be looking for in order to separate the wheat from the chaff.

1. Credentials

Any good tree trimming service should have the credentials that are required to do the job safely. If they don't have them, then how can you know that the company and their employees really know what they're doing?

Having certified arborists trim your trees is the only choice. Look for an International Society of Arboriculture certificate when talking to different services.

At Maguire Tree Care Inc., we're experienced and credentialed arborists and take a passionate approach to tree care.

2. Great References

Tree trimming services live and die by their reputation. Looking at online ratings and reviews will tell you what dealing with a particular service will be like. If they've got a testimonials section on their website, this will be telling as well.

There's really no one better to ask about a tree trimming service than their former customers. If you have any particular questions about the process or the people involved, this is the way to find answers.

3. The Right Price

There are numerous factors involved in pricing a tree trimming, so you should always ask for a thorough breakdown of the costs involved in doing so. If a company refuses to give you this in print, then they're not necessarily a tree service that you'll want to trust.

Conversely, you don't want the cheapest option, either. You want the job done right or you'll have to hire a different company to do damage control and end up spending more money anyways.

When you hire Maguire Tree Care, you're getting quality tree care for the right price. Don't hire us after you've had a problem with another tree care company; hire us now.

4. Insurance and Safety

Insurance is an important aspect of tree trimming because it is, ultimately, a very dangerous job. The last thing you want is for a lackluster tree trimming service to have one of their workers injured on the job or damage your home, then be unable to cover the costs because they don't have insurance.

A good tree care service should have liability insurance to cover any potential damage to your home and workers' comp insurance so that any injuries sustained on the job can't come back and haunt you.
