Your lawn is a complex collection of different plants, creatures, and biomes. If you think that’s overstating things, take a walk outside sometime. Try to count every different variety of plant you see. There’s a good chance you’ll find more than you ever guessed you had.

With so much going on, it’s surprising how often people hire hobbyists to handle their garden maintenance. From lawn care to pest control, there’s a lot to do and it takes the right person to do it. And don’t even get us started on tree removal.

Actually, it’s too late. Join us today, as we break down why you should hire a certified arborist to remove a tree from your property.

Training

A certified arborist’s services have been vetted by the International Society of Arboriculture, solidifying their position as an expert. This credential requires full training in all aspects of arboriculture, as well as following a strict code of ethics, in order to stay credible.

What this means for you is that you’ll hiring a professional who understands trees and respects the tree removal process. They’ll bring expertise in terms of removing the tree, but may also be able to tell you how to recuperate your tree without even having to cut it down. With proper training and an expert level of insight, tree removal can mean adding to your garden instead of taking away from it.

Liability

Tree removal is more dangerous than many people guess. You’re dealing with ten-foot tall plants covered in rock-hard bark, heavier than a burlap sack full of bricks in most cases. Despite this fact, hundreds of people still try to handle this work themselves, every year, resulting in dozens of reported injuries.

You need an expert, and you need one with great liability insurance. After all, accidents happen, and they can happen easily when you’re dealing with heavy, free-falling objects that may have any number of holes, cracks or hidden weaknesses.

Now, any tree service business can apply for and get liability insurance, but the truth is more of them don’t bother. A Certified Arborist will invest in this insurance to hold up their good name within the industry. Where you find one, you’re usually pretty sure to find another.

Return On Investment

The ROI on any tree removal project really comes down to sustainability. When you need to cut a tree down, there are certain precautions to safeguard against costs down the line. This means ongoing maintenance services that will keep the removal site from becoming infected or otherwise hazardous.

This is exactly where a certified arborist does their best work. The biggest benefit to certification is being able to forecast potential future problems. When you understand trees, nothing ever comes as a surprise, which benefits everyone.

So, when you need to remove trees from your home or office, it’s better to trust a professional. And nobody is better qualified than a certified arborist.
