If you hire a Tree Service company for pruning or tree removal, or other tree-care service, do it with a foolproof plan. Your plan will focus on your interests not theirs. Your plan will anticipate both problem prevention i.e. I'd love to show you the relevant ins and outs of the arboriculture industry, so you end up paying less and getting more. I have abundant empirical (hands on) knowledge in this business. During my tree business time I focused on one main challenge, to improve the Company-Client relationship.
Tree Service work can be broken down into several tasks of which many fall in the DIY (do it yourself) or Sweat Equity jobs category. When most people hire a tree service for pruning or tree removal work, they don't consider or realize how much they are paying for the skilled workers to remove the debris, rake the yard, shovel wood chips, and do the final detailed clean up. The company must pay their highly skilled climbers the same wage whether they are climbing a 90 foot tree or raking. If you are willing and able to remove logs or brush yourself, rake your own yard, sweep your driveway and street; you can save 10 to 70 percent of the cost of the service.
