Questions to Ask a Tree Management Specialist
Often opportunistic and unscrupulous vendors will approach you about tree removal. Don’t sign on to let anyone manage your yard. Before signing any contract you should ask a tree removal company several important questions:

• Can you provide references or referrals from other clients you have worked with?
• What equipment do you use?
• Do you have insurance if you are to damage my property?
• How is the work to be done?
• How long will it take to complete the job?
• Why should the tree be removed?
• Is there anyway to save the tree?
• Do you have any objections to having the work videotaped or photographed?

A reliable and credible tree removal company should be very straight forward in answering these questions and should not appear to be dodging your questions.

What to do before hiring a Tree Management Specialist
Ask for certificates of insurance to be provided, including proof of liability for personal and property damage (covering your property and your neighbor’s) and workers’ compensation (covering any worker's on your property). Then phone the insurance company to be sure the policy is current before contracting any work to begin.
