Tree Care Information

We're glad you care about your trees. We have put together these resources to help you learn more about proper tree care and maintenance.

Did you know?

Regular tree care is cost-effective.

Caring for trees regularly is more cost effective than neglecting them and dealing with the damage. Studies published in the Journal of Arboriculture have demonstrated that it is actually cheaper to regularly prune trees rather than neglecting them, and cleaning up the resulting damage!

Trees boost property value.

Trees can increase the value of your property up to 25% percent or more based on the location, species, and condition of the tree.

Trees have environmental & social benefits.

Various studies have shown that trees reduce pollution in many ways, as well as help social behavior improve by raising the self-esteem of neighborhoods.

When You Meet With An Arborist

Ensure you are working with qualified professionals. Here are critical tips for evaluating a tree care company:

Gather information

Check their number of years in business, insurance status, and licenses.

Avoid "Topping"

Steer clear of companies that advertise topping (an injurious and unacceptable practice) or offer suspiciously low rates.

Seek recommendations

Ask neighbors, friends, or business associates who have had professional tree care work done.

Verify credentials

The term "arborist" can vary widely. Don't just hire someone with a chain saw who knocks on your door!

Check references

Ask for references and verify the quality of their work and service level.

Insist on a contract

Get a signed contract listing the exact cost and scope of work to be done. Never pay in advance.

Demand insurance proof

Ask to see current certificates of liability and workers compensation insurance.
