Assess Your Tree Removal Needs

To begin with, you’ll need to assess the specific requirements for tree removal, if possible and safe. That is to say, you should try to figure out details like the size, type and condition of the tree or trees which need removing.

Beyond that, try also to identify potential hazards (e.g. proximity of the tree(s) to structures, power lines or potentially diseased trees). Ultimately, you’ll still want to talk with the tree removal professional one way or another to verify your exact tree removal needs.

One such way is with the MyJobQuote online gardener directory. By using the MyJobQuote online directory, you’ll find profiles of various professionals. When evaluating MyJobQuote profiles, you should pay attention to reviews, ratings and images showcasing prior tree removal projects.

Verify Credentials

Next, you’ll want to verify the credentials of the various tree removal professionals you’re considering.

This should include checking that the tree removal professional(s) you have in mind are insured. Insurance will safeguard you and the service provided in the event of damage to your property or an accident.

Beyond that, request references from prior clients of each professional you’re considering. This way, you can gauge the quality of work and level of professionalism of each tree removal professional/company.

Request Multiple Quotes

Next, you should request quotes from several professionals. More specifically, you should request detailed quotes, each of which should be specific to your tree removal project.

Seek Recommendations

Aside from using one of our services (i.e., the online gardener directory or the MyJobQuotes quote form), you may also want to seek personal referrals.

This could mean asking friends, family members, neighbours and work colleagues for recommendations. One of the key advantages of seeking personal referrals is that they’ll often lead to trustworthy tree removal services.

Discuss Removal Methods

Before hiring a contractor or service, you should also inquire about the tree removal methods and equipment they use to ensure they are suitable for the job at hand. Specific equipment or removal methods may include bucket trucks, cranes, tree climbing and specialised rigging.

Further, you should also query the tree removal professional(s) about their experience with different tree species (and any specialised removal techniques that may apply for specific challenging situations.

Confirm Availability and Timeline

Finally, when you've decided who you want to hire, you’ll want to confirm their availability and the potential timeline.

Firstly, this means ensuring that the tree removal service’s schedule aligns with your project timeline, particularly dealing with dead or potentially dangerous trees that need to be removed fast. Secondly, query them about the estimated duration of the removal process.

If you’re main preference is not available as you as you’d like, you should ask your second and third preferences about their availability and timeline. As touched on before, it’s essential to have a tree removed as soon as possible if it poses any immediate hazards.

Clarify Service Terms

Once you’ve decided who you’d like to hire, you’ll want to request a written service agreement. This should outline details such as the pricing, scope of work, any guarantees/warranties and payment terms.

Beyond that, make sure that all your expectations, along with specific project requirements, are documented clearly in the contract before hiring the professional in question.

Monitor the Removal Process

You may also want to remain engaged during the tree removal process to a certain degree and periodically check the progress and have any concerns and questions you have addressed.

Considering that the tree removal specialist will need to remain focused while removing the tree(s), you should only ask them questions in the middle of their work if it’s urgent. Otherwise, it’s best to ask questions before the work begins and when they are on a break.
