What to Ask Tree Removal Experts

Asking Questions Before Proceeding With Tree Removal

While going through your seasonal checklist, you will probably notice that some tasks (such as tree removal) are best left to a professional.

And if the prospect of hiring a tree removal service seems daunting, we’re here to assist. Continue reading to learn what questions you should ask any tree service company you interview for this risky job.

Will a permit be required for the job?

Permits (and, in some cases, clearance from your homeowners’ association) are frequently required for such tasks, and failing to meet these requirements would be a costly legal mistake. Fines for unpermitted work can be steep, and it can cause strife in your community as well. Follow the law, educate yourself on the requirements in your area, and inquire if the company has applied for any required permits for the job.

How frequently do you deal with this particular problem?

Inquire about the specific issue you’re having with your tree or trees. If you have a dying tree, ask if it can be saved. Remember, arborists are trained to rehabilitate sick trees. In many cases, you can still save that lovely tree in your backyard (especially if the problem has been spotted early on).

What tools will you be using?

Tree service companies, in my case, can arrive with very large and heavy equipment. Inform the company if you know the location of your underground lines. If you don’t know where your underground systems are, it’s important to know what machinery they will be driving on your property.

On this note, you can ask utility companies to mark your lines so that the tree service crew can avoid them. You may even place plywood on top of lawns to protect both the lawn and the underlying systems during the actual removal of a hazardous tree.
