Tree Service Professional FAQs
Schedule annual inspections in spring or fall, and after severe storms. Additional inspections are recommended if you notice signs of disease, damage, or unusual growth patterns.
Trimming focuses on maintaining shape and controlling size, while pruning involves removing specific branches to improve tree health and structure. Pruning requires more expertise as it impacts the tree's long-term health.
Emergency removal may be needed if you notice severe leaning, exposed or damaged roots, large dead branches, splits in the trunk, or if the tree is touching power lines.
Maintenance frequency depends on tree species, age, and location. Generally, mature trees need professional attention every 3-5 years, while young trees benefit from annual pruning and shaping.
Look for ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certification, liability insurance, worker's compensation coverage, and local licensing if required in your area.
