5 Tips on Finding
the Best Tree Service

1. Specialize

Need to remove a big / bad tree that's right next to your home / over your pool and deck? You’ll want a technical tree company with skilled climbers, like WTS. Got some crazy orange fungus? You’ll want a plant health care specialist / certified arborist. Ask tree services what they are known for, look for one that specialty aligns with your tree needs.

2. Beware heavy equipment

Yes huge bucket trucks can save a tree company time, they can also crack concrete driveways. Bobcats are cool but they destroy a beautiful lawn. Ask tree guys about their equipment with an eye towards low impact solutions.

3. Liability coverage

Of course it’s a must, two million dollar coverage at a minimum. The real key here is to get valid Proof of Insurance direct from their carrier via email, straight from insurance company to you. Don’t settle for a quick look at a paper copy from a salesman - many of these have lapsed meaning you are not protected. WTS spends more than 30k per year to have both full Liability coverage plus Workmans Comp insurance so our clients are fully covered.

4. No spikes

If climbing a healthy tree is on the agenda find a tree service adept at new spike-less climbing methods. Spikes inflict multiple puncture wounds that allow disease to attack your trees. We are routinely called to removed trees killed by climbers using spikes. Protect your trees, hire knowledgeable well trained climbing arborists who use gentle modern methods.

5. Good reviews

The gold standard for genuine customer reviews is Google Reviews and Next Door. Both feature honest feedback from real customers. Other review sites are essentially “pay to play” where corporate money can buy better ratings and reviews.

BONUS TIP!

Never pay a deposit or make partial payments to any tree guy. Any reputable tree service only receives payment upon completion and your complete satisfaction.
