How to choose tree service companies

  1. 1

    Ask for proof of insurance

    Tree work is some of the riskiest work done around a house. Ask for liability insurance, and workers' compensation if they have a crew, before anyone climbs.

  2. 2

    Ask what happens to the wood

    Some quotes include hauling everything away. Others leave the logs or the stump. Get it in writing so there are no surprises at the end of the day.

  3. 3

    Ask about the stump

    Stump grinding is often priced separately from removal. If you want the stump gone, ask for it in the same quote.

  4. 4

    Be wary of door-knockers after storms

    Storms bring out crews nobody has heard of. Check reviews and insurance even when a tree is down and you're in a hurry.

FAQ

Questions about tree service companies

Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

Sometimes. Some cities and HOAs protect large or certain kinds of trees. Check before you book, and ask the company whether they handle it.

When is the best time to trim trees?

Late winter, while most trees are dormant, is a common choice. Dead or dangerous limbs can come down any time of year.

Who handles branches near power lines?

Utilities usually clear the lines themselves. Call your utility before anyone works near them. It isn't a job for a general tree crew.

Is stump grinding the same as stump removal?

No. Grinding chews the stump down below the soil line. Removal pulls out the stump and the main roots, which takes longer and costs more.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
