Why Choose a Professional Arborist

So you need to remove some trees from your backyard and are considering doing it yourself. Before you do, read this article.

In the warmer months, it is tempting to try your hand at tree removal and maintenance, but the truth is, it’s not always the best approach.

In this article, we’ll tell you why you should leave tree removal to a professional arborist, and the benefits of doing so.

The Benefits of Choosing a Professional Arborist

There are any number of reasons why you would choose to hire a professional arborist for tree maintenance and removal over attempting it yourself. Here, we’ll discuss some of the most common factors.

Licensing & Permits

If you attempt to remove a tree without the appropriate licensing and permits to do so, you may find yourself in hot water with local authorities.

On the other hand, if you hire a professional arborist or tree removal professional (such as those we have on our team at Affordable Tree Service) you don’t have to worry so much about all those nitty-gritty details.

Qualifications

A trained arborist has all the skills and qualifications needed to safely and efficiently remove a tree from your property, and provide advice or solutions on tree maintenance.

This is something that not all home owners – even those who consider themselves au fait with DIY and skilled in the garden – have. A good arborist will know all there is to know about your tree, and the safest and best solution for its removal because we’re trained to recognise these things.

That’s simply knowledge, skills and qualifications you don’t have, which is why it’s best to rely on those with experience.

Safety & Other Regulations

Most homeowners aren’t familiar with the safety restrictions and other regulations involved with the removal of trees. And it can be a dangerous business, with many residents getting themselves into trouble when attempting a job that is out of their league.

That’s why it’s considered good practice to call in the experts when you need to remove a tree from your property.

Trained arborists like us are across every aspect of safety restrictions and regulations so you can be certain your job will be completed in accordance with all local laws and regulations. This is especially the case where safety is concerned.

Diagnosis & Prognosis

This benefit comes back to that same idea that you don’t know what you don’t know. While you may think you know what’s wrong with the tree you’re attempting to remove, that may not always be the case.

When you hire a qualified professional, you get an accurate diagnosis of the issue and a plan for removing your tree, if that’s even what you need to do.

No doubt there are countless instances out there of residents removing a sick tree when they didn’t really need to, and options for treatment instead of removal.

We can also advise you if it’s considered to be an appropriate time to remove the tree under consideration, or whether another season would be preferable for the health of your remaining trees and plants.

Equipment

Tree removal is not a simple process, and often requires equipment most untrained residents do not have easy access to. By hiring a professional like us, you don’t have to worry about what equipment is required to get the job done.

We come on site ready to go, with all the equipment we need so you don’t have that hassle.

Less Damage & No Clean Up

For all your efforts, you may end up inadvertently damaging the rest of your back yard if you approach the task unprepared or without the assistance of a trained professional.

Our trained professionals complete every tree removal with as little damage to surrounding fauna as possible.

We even take all our waste with us, and give you the opportunity to keep clippings for mulch if that is something you’d like to do.

Time & Money

Over the years at Affordable Tree Service, we’ve seen many residents waste valuable time and money by not hiring a professional for tree removal and maintenance. You may think it’s a wasted expense, but in our experience, the opposite is actually true.

Removing a tree yourself – particularly if this is your first time, or you’re not overly familiar with the task – often ends up costing you a lot of money and time you could have spent elsewhere.

Hiring a professional means that the job will get done efficiently, at the price quoted to you when you first approached them. There’s no risk or surprises involved.
