Most of us don't have the knowledge and skill to deal with a tree that is unsightly, disease-stricken, damaged, weak, non-productive, or worse, dead. It is also a bad idea to carry out tree care tasks yourself, specifically on trees that grow near electrical wires or those that entail climbing of any kind. Cutting down a tree is also a job best left to professionals.
The good thing is that there are many companies that provide tree services in Pittsburgh. It is important that you hire the right firm because the wrong care can harm or kill a tree. Using the right individuals to complete the task is still crucial even if the tree is dead and you want it removed. You want the company to be able to do this task without damage to your property or injury to other individuals.
Choosing a tree company
You have to find a company that works based on industry standards. For example, topping and lion’s-tailing are common yet poor pruning practices. They are typically presented as a method to cut costs since a great portion of the tree is removed at one time, however, they can involve more expensive restoration work in the future. Your best option to make sure you will be using a company that adheres to industry standards is to select one that is a part of a trade association in your area.
Tree care is a risky occupation. A worker being injured on your property is always a possibility so it is important that you defend yourself from being held responsible for such injuries. This can be done by working with a company that is sufficiently insured. A company may seem professional and be strongly recommended by others, but do not have sufficient - or in certain cases any - insurance. The tree company should be able to show you pertinent insurance certificates. The insurance must cover worker’s compensation, property damage and liability.

Obtain recommendations from neighbors, peers, and co-workers who have hired professional tree care services in the past. Ask for estimates and references from the tree services providers on your list. Each estimate should include thorough work specifications so you understand specifically how much work the company intends to do and how much you will be charged for it. Although it is convenient to shop for these services online or on the phone, if possible, arrange a face-to-face meeting with the company’s representative. Don’t ignore your gut feelings when talking with these tree care companies. If you don’t feel at ease with a specific company, select another provider.
