It is important to protect your trees in the best possible way. For example, strategically planted trees save on cooling and heating costs, reduce storm water runoff and add value to your home. When you are not able to take care of your trees by yourself, hire a tree care service company that not only dispose with small log loader, but with other forestry machines. The log loader is an effective and efficient machine for various forestry applications. Every log loader is equipped with heavy-duty track links, full-length track guiding guards and top rollers with brackets. The most used log loader attachment is the 360-degree rotating log grapple.

Aside from quality forestry machines, tree care service company has trained staff which can match any tree-related job.

When it comes the time to hire a professional tree care service, remember the following:

  • Do not pay for the service until the job is completed;
  • Sign only a contract that points out clearly the services that need to be finished, the deadline and the cost;
  • Ask for a verification of company’s certifications and licenses;

Also, do not hire a tree care services that:

  • Has no printed materials, bid forms, etc.;
  • Offer an unusual low price;
  • Accept only cash payments or asks for payment up front;
  • Press for an immediate decision;
  • Offer discount if you find other customers.

Here are a few tips to consider before you hire a tree care service.

Less Risk Of Potential Damage – Operating a small log loader carries certain risks such as hitting electrical wires. With a professional tree care service these risks are minimal due to their trained and skilled staff, capable of completing any kind of forestry work, fast and efficiently.

Do Not Accept The Lowest Bid – You should estimate the credentials and written specification of the companies that submitted bids and then determine the best combination of work to be performed, price, skills and professionalism to protect your substantial investment. Not always the lowest bid is the most affordable option, because it is not all about the price. For example, the company with the lowest bid may not be as qualified and experienced as other companies.

Certification And Licensing – Hire a licensed tree care service with proper certification. Although every business must have proper licenses, there are still some who offer unlicensed tree care services. In addition to operating a log loader and executing various forestry jobs, certified tree care professionals can also be consultants for financial and legal disputes involving trees.

Ask For References – Always ask for a list of prior projects and clients. A reputable tree care service company will be more than willing to provide you with such information.

Ask For A Written Contract Agreement – Make sure you sign a written contract agreement, which states company name, license number, address and phone number. Read the whole contract before signing and ask for a copy.
