  • Why is it necessary for a tree company to have insurance?

    By its very nature, tree work is dangerous. It should only be done by professionals. Liability insurance is important because it protects you, the homeowner or business, and your property from potential risk and damage.


    We have heard stories about homeowners being responsible for property damages and injuries because the company they hired did not have the appropriate insurance. 


    When you are looking to hire a tree company, be sure to request proof of comprehensive insurance from their insurance carrier before any work is started. If you have any doubts, call the insurance carrier for verification. 

  • Why should I prune my trees?

    Trees need to be pruned for several reasons, including safety, aesthetics and tree health. 

    Broken or dead branches can be dangerous if they fall, which often happens without warning, and even on a calm day!

    From an aesthetic perspective, pruning can help make a tree look better or provide you with a better view of the property or horizon. 

    If you are thinking about pruning a tree, be sure to use a professional tree company with experience. Unskilled and uneducated workers can damage your trees and your property.
