The Importance of Hiring a Highly Skilled Tree Company

Depending on the scope of work being done, tree service can be one of the biggest projects done on your property with very high stakes involved. It can be tempting to take what may seem like a “better deal” when hiring a company to do your tree service, but the repercussions of doing so can be significant. Hiring a quality company to do your complex tree work that values safety, and the long-term health of your tree can save you from significant damage and hazards in the future.

What is complex tree work?

In short, all work done on your trees can be complex due to the nature of high consequences to your property or safety if something goes wrong. However, particularly complex tree work can involve precision tree shaping, view improvement, tree injection, work on trees with many targets, and work on tall trees to name a few.

Risk targets

The more targets that a tree has, the higher its complexity. Targets can include homes, vehicles, people, fences, or gardens that can be damaged or disrupted by the tree. When there are multiple targets involved in a project, it is critical that you have a good team of tree experts doing your tree work to avoid damage or injury. Experts with the proper expertise can create a plan to strategically service these trees taking all targets into account. Potentially choosing a less expensive tree care company that may not have the proper training and expertise could create a hazard and lead to expensive damage that could have been prevented.

Precision tree shaping

Tree pruning and shaping can have a variety of objectives. Some of these can be improving a view, strategically thinning the inner layers of the crown for pest control or storm safety, or creating a more structurally balanced and aesthetically pleasing tree. All of these require strategy and precision in order to avoid an irreversible mistake. Due to the irrevocable nature of pruning, precision execution is necessary for the optimal project outcome. Highly skilled tree companies will use management oversight systems that allow them to easily communicate with one another on the project in order to obtain the desired outcome.

Tree injections

In order to produce tree injections, applicators must be licensed, properly trained, and have the correct equipment. Tree injections are highly effective when done correctly. However, like any tree service, if you have an unskilled applicator inject your trees, it will not be effective and could be hazardous. Quality tree care companies take tree injections very seriously and invest in the proper equipment and training to ensure they will produce the optimal results for your trees. 

Tall tree pruning

Tree work can be very dangerous if safety is not taken seriously. The moment an arborist is no longer working from the ground, the tree service becomes complex and safety needs to be the priority. When work is done in your tall trees, the stakes are high. A poor judgment call from an unskilled technician can lead to injury or damage to your property. However, companies that follow the best safety practices through daily safety meetings and equipment checks can create a positive experience and outcome.

Why should you invest in highly skilled tree service?

Highly skilled tree service companies are not only more equipped to tackle complex tree service, but they also follow industry-safe work practices and local tree codes and take the long-term health of your trees very seriously. Rather than the focus be getting the current job done, they apply their expert tree health knowledge to give your tree the best chance at a long, healthy life so that you can have beautiful and safe trees on your property. Tree service is an investment in your property, so it’s important that you put thought into selecting your company. Choose a company that will give you the best results so that you can save yourself time and money down the line.
