subject: Choosing The Best Tree Surgeon For You [print this page] There are times when you need a tree surgeon and choosing which tree surgeon to work with can be difficult - for a number of reasons. Although there is little doubt that your decision is likely to be influenced by the task at hand, there are a few things to consider in all cases. This article looks at the universal considerations when hiring a tree surgeon.
Can They Do The Job
This may seem like a slightly strange stipulation as one would assume that all tree surgeons can do all types of tree surgery but there are some companies that specialise in some areas and others that specialise elsewhere. Consequently, you can waste a lot of your time and a tree surgeon's time by calling them out to assess a situation which they actually can't help you with. The best thing to do is to visit their website first of all to confirm that they can carry out the work you need them to, so that you'll save yourself a lot of time. Most good tree surgeons will have a list of services they provide on their website.
Make Sure You Get On With Them
It's pretty unusual for you to call out a tree surgeon for a small job and therefore it's extremely likely that you'll spend a lot of time in each other's company. If you don't get on then it's going to make your life that much more unpleasant, so if a tree surgeon stresses on their website that they are friendly then it's an indication that they value you and will take the time and make the effort to get on with you. It's a pretty good indicator that you'll get on well.
The Right Level of Experience
Obviously you want your tree surgeon to have enough experience not just to do the job, but to do it well. All tree surgeons are required by law to be qualified, so one would assume that they are competent, but one that has spent a few years in the field is likely to be better at this job than one who has qualified. That said, rookie tree surgeons need to learn somewhere, and having one on a smaller job shouldn't be a problem, but for the larger tasks they may well need a more senior member of staff with them.
As you can see there are plenty of things to consider when choosing the right tree surgeon - what else would you think about?
