Tree Limbing: How to Hire Tree Services for the Job

"FREE stump grinding with every Tree Removal Please view our video!"

When would consumers be advised to hire tree services? Reflect upon the following image: A tree limb crashing through a window, sprinkling glass all over the living room carpet! Surely an occurrence to avoid, right? But what if you need to have tree limbing work done in order to let more sun into a garden area? If you undertake your tree limbing project yourself, you risk precisely that occurrence, when the tree in question looms over your house like the fabled sword of Damocles. Clearly, tree limbing is not a project to rush into. Even the most ardent do-it-yourselfer will probably want to defer to the expertise of tree services on this one. The problem is: How do you locate tree services? And once you've located them, how do you separate the wheat from the chaff for a difficult tree limbing job?

Caveats When Hiring Tree Services

Certainly, an all-purpose handyman driving around a neighborhood in a pickup truck with a chainsaw and hollering out sales pitches may not be suitable for work demanding such a high level of responsibility.

Also be wary of hiring tree services requesting payment in advance or who wish to begin work without having drawn up a free estimate of the cost. In fact, consumers should demand not only an estimate but also a written contract, laying out precisely what the tree limbing job entails and for how much. If limbing work needs to be performed on a tree whose appearance is important to you, always insist that tree services climb the tree using ropes or ascend with an aerial lift (see photo at right) rather than using climbing spikes. Spikes cause damage to the cambium of a tree.

Also ascertain how prepared tree services are to take appropriate action in the event that a mishap occurs. For instance, tree services removing limbs situated directly over wires leading into your house should have experience in splicing together damaged wires. Skilled tree services control the fall of such limbs using ropes. Should an accident still occur, however, you don't want the inconvenience entailed by having to call a utility company.
