What To Look For In A Residential Tree Service Company

Thinking about hiring a residential tree service? Before you spend your hard earned time and money on a tree maintenance company you need to know what to look for so you get the best return on your investment.

What Types Of Trees Do They Service?

Does the residential tree company that you want to hire have the skills necessary to service all of the trees in your yard, especially exotic trees? Before agreeing to let any tree company work on your trees make sure that the employees who will be servicing your trees have earned landscaping degrees and possess the skills necessary to care for all types of trees and pests that might inhabit exotic trees.

Research Their Reputation Online

Utilize the Internet to research the company online before agreeing to have them work on your trees. You should specifically be searching for any negative feedback because; this will tell you that they’ve performed poor service for other customers.

Design Insight

Once they’ve trimmed and maintained your trees, you should ask your tree maintenance company about what you can do to care for your trees better. For example: what fertilizers should you be using to feed your trees, how often should you be fertilizing them, are you planting your trees to close together? Don’t hesitate to pick the tree technicians brain because, if they love their job and are passionate about trees, they won’t hesitate to talk with you about them.

Rates

Make sure you get the residential tree service company’s rates up front before having them start working on your trees, this will save you a lot of time and hassle if there is a dispute later regarding rates that they said you agreed to pay.

Residential And Commercial Customers

When working with a residential tree service company it’s always best to ask if they serve residential and commercial customers. This is helpful because, if you own a business and have a commercial location you can ask for a discount or a two for one deal when you start service with their company. Besides asking for a two for one discount you should also ask the tree service company if they offer any other types of landscape maintenance like lawn or garden maintenance because, it’s always good to choose one service provider who can do everything at once.
