There is no doubt that trees can be incorporated into a landscape. Often these trees add color and a great deal of character to the yard. However, if a tree is placed in the wrong spot, it can turn into a major hazard for you and your family. Often trees will grow up into power lines, or even over top the house. You do not want to have to deal with a tree that could cause a lot of harm to you and your family. If you are dealing with this type of tree, it is important to know that you can get professional help with the hazardous tree removal. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are working with a tree removal company.

Get The Fees

One of the first things that you should talk about with the company are the fees that they charge for their services. It is important to note that they will most likely offer different services. If you have the tree completely removed, simply cut down, or if you just need the tree trimmed. Each one of these services will cost a different amount. If you decide to have your tree cut down, but not hauled off, you should be prepared to cut the tree up and haul it off. You should also ask about stump removal so you do not have to deal with the stump.

Insurance

You want to know that you are dealing with a legitimate company. When you talk with the business, you should ask to see if they are licensed and insured. You do not want a company that does not have insurance to be providing you such an important and hazardous service. If something did happen to your house during the process, you would want the company to be able to handle the accident without a problem.

Safety Training 

Simply being good with a chainsaw is not enough to start a professional tree removing service. It is important that every employee that is working with the company has had the safety training tat they need to be safe while operating the machinery and cutting down the tree. Most of the time the tree removal service will use a crane or a boom to secure each piece of the tree as it is cut from the top down. This is extremely important especially when over your home or in the midsts of power lines.
