What to do before you hire a tree service contractor?

Before hiring the tree service expert, it may be a good idea to get some Google reviews or Facebook reviews to see if they do good work and what people are saying about this particular contractor. You should always check with your local government agencies and see if there are any permits that are needed to do the work. I would believe that your contractor would have that information.  And know exactly what they need to do the job. As far as Government goes, each town, state is different so be sure to check with your local officials.  To see if you need a special permit to remove a tree.  Some areas limit the type of trees you can remove based on diameter. You may only be able to take out trees that are not too large. The reason for this is that most towns or trying to keep the consistency of how their properties look crossed a particular area, for example, if you live in a cul-de-sac or certain area each town or that town may not let you cut trees down.  Keeping a consistent look across the town, this may be important for the neighbors, as some may remove all the trees and others may keep it all wooded. So there may be regulations in place you should know them before you move forward.   After the tree has been removed and taken down from the property, what is the next step, what happens now?  Well, the contractor should be removing all of the branches and also that should be discussed before the tree coming down the what happens to the stump.

So make sure that is clear before the work gets started by the contractor.  Everything should be outlined exactly what’s going to be done at the time it’s going to be done.  That includes the stump grinding or removal and cleaning up of all the branches. Everything revolving the tree service is very important to be a completed job and not half done.  If you have a fireplace, you may ask the contractor to save you some of the branches to burn in the fireplace. But remember that what is very green it will need to dry out before it’s good for the fireplace or firepit probably the next season would be perfect. This may be a personal preference or opinion,  but I believe you should contact your neighbors on both sides of your home.  Informing them that you’re going to be removing a tree or trees. There’s a lot involved with heavy equipment and time and material it is good that the neighbors can remove their cars understand that you’re going to be taking this tree down.

The insurance company may have a recommended contractor to use, so you will not have to put the money upfront.  But be sure to contact your insurance agent before any decisions are made or any work as is started or completed.
