Whether you’re looking to get a couple branches off a tree, or want to remove the tree that seems like it has taken over your backyard, contacting a professional tree service is the best way to go, if you want the job to get done safely and properly (and to avoid any DIY mess ups that could cause lots of damage to your property and wallet).

Regardless of the tree work needing to be done at your home, office, apartment complex, or anywhere, every job deserves the same level of care, safety precautions, and precision. We’re going to explain why calling the pros is not only better for you but also for your trees, plus it is able to save you a lot of headaches and your trees will thank you.

Protecting Everyone’s Safety

The most important factor to consider when getting tree work done around your home or office is safety, and we’re not only talking about keeping branches falling down where they shouldn’t be. Tree work consists of a ton of safety hazards starting from the big heavy wood that comes off of trees to the machinery that is used to get the job done, such as chainsaws, wood chippers, and more heavy machinery.

There’s a reason why in horror movies they love to put a wood chipper as a prop to scare the audience, it is a dangerous machine that only experienced workers should be using.

This is why hiring a professional tree service is the best bet to getting any work done, they don’t only show up with all the heavy duty machinery but they come with experience, expertise, and come fully ready to handle your job while managing to keep your property (and everyone around) safe.

Let’s be honest, tree work is dangerous work, trying to become a DIY expert could leave you with serious injuries or worse. Instead of risking your life, hire a professional arborist that know how to get the job done safely, carefully, and makes the job go accident free.

Although chainsaws have became so advanced and light that they can be waved around like lightsabers (Star Wars), they can do more harm to you than the actors portray in the movies, so save your limbs (literally) and keep your insurance rates low.

Qualified Expertise and Experience

Trees are a lot more complicated then they look, just like us- they are living organisms and they need expert care to stay healthy and strong. Whether you’re searching for a small trim or taking down a giant tree that seems like it’s getting closer and closer to your roof everyday, you are going to need to look for a professional to do the job. When you hire an arborist, it is basically hiring a tree doctor that is able to diagnose any issues like a disease, pest infestation, or structural problems that the tree could be suffering with.

To put this into an example: you wouldn’t let a random person diagnosing your health concerns, you would go to an experienced doctor to treat you, the same should go for your trees. Improper pruning or neglect towards a tree can lead to the tree’s health to decline and could cause the tree to die. A professional tree service knows how to keep your trees healthy for them to stay strong and look aesthetically pleasing for years to come.

Having Insurance

Another crucial things to check off a list when hiring a tree service is to make sure they are fully insured with Full Liability Insurance along with Workman’s Comp. Trust me, you would rather have a company that has all of it’s insurance ducks in a row, this can be extremely important if any accidents happen during the job. If a tree limb decided to take an unexpected detour into your roof or side of the building, you’re going to want to be covered. A professional tree service has insurance to protect you and your property, this helps you have confidence and trust in the company you’re hiring.

We always make sure to give our customers a copy of our insurance after every estimate to show that we care and are willing to protect our customers if any incidents occur. It’s our way of saying “we got your back”.

Tackling Preventative Care

Getting your trees professionally cared for is like taking them to a doctors office to have a check up, professional arborists are able to spot issues with the trees that can be dealt with before any incidents occur. Examples of this are diseases, pest infestations, weak branches, or dead branches that are waiting to fall at the worst possible moment. Getting these issues resolved

before any damages occur can save you time and money, along with unwanted damage to your property (and avoid long phone calls with your insurance company).

Healthy trees don’t only make your home, street, or building look great but they can actually improve property value, yet if they are not properly taken care of they quickly can go from an asset to a huge liability.

Following Local Regulations

While most of tree care is about keeping your landscaping look pretty or keeping your self and home protected from any tree hazards, it can also be about following the rules. In some metro Detroit cities, they have a stricter guideline when it comes to tree care and you’re not always able to cut down whatever tree you would like. Professional tree services know these regulations and they will be able to help you avoid breaking any of them to make sure you’re not hit with unexpected fines or legal headaches that can come with these regulations if not followed correctly.

We’ve seen rental property owners and homeowners get fined for not trimming their trees regularly from the house or sidewalk. Luckily for them (and for you), we have been able to help plenty of customers with these guidelines and help avoid expensive fines.

In the End,

When it comes to getting tree work done, there are plenty of reason why hiring a professional tree service that has experienced arborists is the best decision to make. Not only will you be covered with insurance to protect your home, your trees, and you, but your trees will thank you for getting properly caring for their wellbeing.
