What Makes a Good Tree Service? 

A good tree service employs skilled experienced arborists. A good tree service is fully licensed and insured. Tree services should have liability and workers compensation insurance. Liability insurance covers any damage that could be done to the property being worked on in the course of the work being done. Worker's compensation insurance covers any injuries to employees that happen int he course of the employees doing their job while on a property. This insurance also covers the customer upon whose property the work is being done. 

Here in New Jersey every company performing tree care services has to be licensed. According to the Tree Expert & Tree Care Operator Licensing Act, every company operating as a tree care company must be registered. Each company doing tree work has to be licensed with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts.  In addition, at least one person at the company has to be licensed as individuals. The purpose of licensure is to provide consumers with a effective pathway to address complaints and improve their trust in the industry. If a tree care company here in New Jersey is not licensed, not only are they operating out of compliance, there is less recourse for a consumer if substandard work is completed or there is some a dispute. It's best to minimize that risk and work with a licensed company.

The company has to be able to provide referrals from customer with whom they've already done business with. Be wary of only online reviews since they are easy to forge. The best referrals are from customers who are willing to speak with you while you do your due diligence on a company. 

An estimate should be given in the form a detailed written document. It should layout what work will be completed and line by line costs. The formal estimate should include terms and conditions and all of the companies contact information and licensure information. 

A good tree service company should be able to tell you about the kind of training they do for their employees and what kind of training they have already gone through. Again, a licensed tree care company in New Jersey will have at least one certified employee with continuing education and safety training requirements tied to the license. On the subject of safety, the tree care company must also provide all employees with the proper protect gear and equipment, including helmets, gloves, straps and face shields.

What does a Tree Service Do?

A tree service is  company that employs arborists and other professionals who are experts in providing services  like stump removal and pest control,  tree removal , tree pruning, tree planting, tree trimming, tree bracing and cabling, hazardous tree removal, tree trimming, tree pruning, tree disease inspection, tree transplanting, lot and land clearing and storm damage cleanup. Tree services operate year round and have to be on call for emergency services. Different than landscaping companies that engage in landscape design, garden design and generally maintaining a space with pants surrounding a building or as part of some other human settlement, tree service companies specialize in work related to trees specifically. 

Tree services employ arborists. Arborists are also know as tree surgeons. These professionals are experts in safely removing, trimming and pruning trees, the identification and planting of trees, and also identifying and controlling tree pests and diseases. Arborists can be accredited or unaccredited, but the best measure of their skills and experience is past work and references.  

How are tree services priced?

Tree services are priced based on the kind of services rendered. Tree identification and pest control tend to cost less than tree removal, tree trimming and tree pruning services. The biggest factors driving the cost of tree services are expertise and the cost of labor which is really just a subset of the cost of labor. Expertise refers to the amount experience the tree care company has in providing it's services. Tree work is dangerous and requires specialized training, whether on the job or in the classroom and on the job; it's harder than it looks. Professional tree service companies know that customers are willing to pay for quality service because the costs of shoddy service are high trees cut down in the wrong way can cause property damage and severe injury or death. Skilled workers will naturally cost most than a guy with a chainsaw and tree straps, or a stump grinder. But if after you've done your market research of like companies, the cost is higher that what you expect, factor in the what it would cost not to have a tree removed, the pest infestation handled or that stump removed. Tree services prices should never be extortionary, but if they are too low you should also be suspicious of the quality in service you'll be getting.
