Timberwolf Tree Service: Tree pruning & removal, stump grinding, land clearing, tree preservation, and aged firewood
FREE BACKYARD FOREST PLANNING GUIDE
The health and appearance of trees are most affected by the person with the pruning saw. Proper planting, pruning and care of a new tree can lead to a structurally strong and healthy tree for many years. Improper care can drastically shorten the life of a tree and waste the money and time invested in raising it to maturity.
Timberwolf Tree Service professionals will perform tree work properly and safely. Here are a few points to consider when hiring or contracting with a tree care service:
- While anyone can list themselves in the phone book, a listing indicates at least some degree of permanence. Be cautious of any professional that advertises “topping” as a service. “Topping” is not an approved tree maintenance practice.
- Ask for certificates of insurance, including proof of liability for personal and property damage and worker’s compensation. Then, contact the insurance company to make sure the policy is current. Under some circumstances you can be held financially responsible if an uninsured worker is hurt on your property or if the worker damages a neighbor’s property.
- Ask for local references. Timberwolf Tree Service can offer you several. Take a look at some of the work, and if possible, talk with former clients. Experience, education and a good reputation are signs of a good professional.
- Most reputable tree care companies have all the work they can handle without going door to door. People who aren’t competent arborists may solicit tree work after storms, seeing an opportunity to earn quick money.
- Timberwolf Tree Service recommends getting more than one estimate and let each contractor know you are soliciting for other bids.
- Good tree work is not inexpensive. A good professional must carry several kinds of insurance as well as pay for expensive and specialized equipment. Beware of estimates that fall well below the average. There may be hidden costs or the professional may not be fully insured or trained.
