While it is well appreciated that development is necessary and certain renovations, installations have to be encouraged, the damage to the environment is also something that needs to be addressed. Typically whenever some new road or structure has to be erected, the first casualty is the trees that need to be cleared and this is indeed a very discomforting aspect of development as those trees that have been there since long suddenly cannot be planted anywhere else and the greenery you have lost is gone forever.
Tree removal though is a professional activity and if you are faced with a problem of clearing any tree in your vicinity, then it is best advised to take the help of professionals in doing so.
But how do you ensure that you are indeed calling the right tree removal specialist?
Well, there are certain pointers to that and you would do well to make a check list of them so that you are covering all of them when making your selection. Remember that price alone cannot or should not be the determinant. You need to stress on quality since this is a specialized job. Making a checklist will also help you to make an apple to apple comparison.
The typical questions you should ask the shortlisted agencies can be the following:
a) What is the insurance as well as liability cover they have towards any accidents?
b) What is the methodology they would use to remove the trees? Will they need to get in a crane or any other equipment?
c) What is the time they would take to get the job done in full?
d) What is the experience they have in this activity and how trained are their personnel?
e) How will they clear any debris from the site?
Asking the above questions will give you a fair idea of the methods of each of the shortlisted companies and should help you come to a decision. With all things being equal, the only deciding factor then becomes the price and it is only at this point that you can hand over the task to the one quoting the lowest or willing to provide any extra services.
Look out for the manner in which each agency is able to explain how they will go about the tree removal process as that will give you a good idea of their competency. Asking for references is another way of testing them out and normally the good ones will not mind giving them to you. There is no alternative to experience and trained personnel in this activity and that should be your guiding factor when making the selection of the tree removal agency.
