3 Questions To Ask When Hiring A Tree Removal Specialist
Hiring a specialist to remove your tree should be taken seriously – hiring the wrong service provider could result in damage to your property or an eyesore on your property. Here are a few questions to ask when hiring a tree removal specialist that should help you decide who will meet your needs the best:
Will the Stump Be Removed?
It's a good idea to make sure that the tree removal specialist you hire has the experience and ability needed to safely remove the stump along with the tree you'd like them to take down. There are a variety of important reasons to make sure that the stump is removed at the same time as the tree, such as the fact that the stump will promote new tree growth and you may find that another problematic tree grows to full size within just a couple of years.
Get rid of the problem tree altogether by getting rid of the stump at the same time as the tree itself.
Removing the stump will also reduce the chance that someone will hurt themselves when trying to maneuver around it, and should help ensure that your property's curb appeal isn't negatively affected as time goes on.
What Kind of Safety Equipment Will Be Used?
It is also important to make sure that the tree removal specialist uses the right safety equipment while getting rid of your tree, so as not to hurt themselves, other people, or your property. Take the time to find out what your state and county regulations are when it comes to the kind of equipment that is required when legally removing a tree from your yard.
Create an equipment checklist based on the information you learn and use that checklist to determine whether or not the tree removal specialist you hire will meet legal guidelines and your expectations. Some of the equipment you should ensure your tree removal specialist has access to includes the following:
-
Harnesses
-
Goggles/Hard Hats
-
Ropes
How Will the Tree Be Disposed Of?
You may also be interested to learn how the tree will be disposed of once it's been removed from the ground. If you plan to mulch it yourself or use the tree in some way, it doesn't matter whether the tree debris is left onsite after it's been taken down. But if you don't want to or can't get rid of the debris yourself, make sure that the tree removal specialist you hire is able to mulch the tree debris in your yard, so you can use it for gardening, or is willing to take it all away and dispose of it in another way.
