When you’re in need of tree care, it’s essential to choose the right company for the job. Hiring someone unqualified or inexperienced could result in injuries or property damage, for which you may be financially responsible. If you want to ensure you receive high-quality services there are several items you should address with potential candidates. 

3 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Tree Care Company 

Are You Insured & Licensed? 

First and foremost, verify the company is licensed and insured. Companies should carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance. The first protects you in the event an employee is injured on your property. The second ensures the company will pay for any damages they cause. 

What Kind of Training & Experience Do You Have? 

When hiring for a job, it’s standard practice to verify the applicant’s training and expertise—tree care is no different. A landscaping license alone isn’t enough to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of maintenance for these plants. Ask what type of specialized training the workers have received and how long the company has been in business. 

Can You Provide References? 

A reputable tree services company will be able to provide a list of references. Speaking candidly with previous customers will give you a better idea of what it’s like to work with the business. When you call, ask what type of work was performed and whether they were satisfied with the job. You can also browse the internet and search for reviews on Yelp®, Google, or the Better Business Bureau®.
