The 3 Core Values That Built Our Business
Why Use A Professional Tree Company Instead Of An Individual?
One thing I hear a lot from potential customers is that they would love to use our service but that there is a guy down the street who will do the job for less. There are at least three very important factors to consider when choosing an individual tree person over a tree company and failure to consider these factors can end up costing you tens of thousands of dollars along with piece of mind.
Professionalism – An Arborist is among the mostly highly trained professionals in green care. There is a high level of knowledge required in the areas of plant Biology, State and Federal Regulations, Plant Pathology and ISA ethics. The independent “tree guy” or illegal immigrant may have worked for an Arborist company before but is not anywhere near qualified to prune, fertilize or treat your trees. Laws and technologies for Arbor Care are always changing and only those who are licensed proactive Arborists can be expected to be aware of these. It is a shame how many trees our company has had to remove only as the result of previous improper care.
If the guy down the street who does the cheap services accidentally cuts a large branch and it lands on your home, who do you think is likely to pay to fix those? If he falls and breaks his leg or worse dies while working on your property, then who do you suppose pays his medical bills or damages to his family? You hope your insurance pays most of it but you had better read the fine print carefully as many policies will not in fact cover most of these instances and you may be out $50,000 for medical bills or his family files a suit against you. At a minimum you are going to be out your deductible and paying a higher premium for your insurance.
In conclusion, for a slightly higher cost of hiring a tree company over an unlicensed individual you will be assured of a properly trained and supervised crew to care for your trees but also the peace of mind that comes with knowing these workers are insured, bonded and that any issues arising from their job will be handled by the company and not by you.
