Trees are gorgeous. They’re valuable for the environment and the lives we live so it makes sense to have trees checked when required by a qualified arborist. This way you’ll make sure the trees you’re responsible for are in tip-top shape.
If you own a tree, it’s your responsibility to ensure it’s safe and doesn’t pose a risk to people or property. While some safety issues, like dead limbs, may be easy to spot, pinpointing other tree problems aren’t so easy without the support of a qualified tree arborist or tree surgeon.
In this article, we’ll outline the qualities to consider when choosing a tree removal service, and share where to find the best in Canberra.
What makes a great tree removal service?
Choosing the right tree removal service can take your stress away. You’ll want an arborist or tree surgeon to identify if a tree needs to be removed or if it can be saved, including through pruning or other maintenance.
It can be helpful to keep the following in mind when choosing a tree removal service.
- Fully certified and insured. You’ll want a tree removal service that is fully insured and certified, to protect your home or business. Removing trees isn’t always straightforward so choose someone who is well protected and who protects you.
- Extensive experience. Ask about experience and years in business. The last thing you need with tricky tree services is to have an inexperienced arborist or tree surgeon on the job. Select a company that makes safety a priority. Check online for reviews and ask for customer referrals.
- Availability. While not all tree services are urgent, some are. This is especially true when a tree poses a danger to people, residences or businesses. If you need something tended to now, make sure the company you call can arrive quick sharp.
- Guaranteed service. Check the tree removal service company’s guarantee. You’ll want exemplary service and 100 per cent assurance that the job will be done right.
- Competitive pricing. Choose a tree removal service that provides premium services at the best price. Make sure they don’t compromise on workmanship. Also ask for a written quote and check there are no hidden fees.
