How to hire a reputable tree service in Nashville

Trees provide beauty and add lush greenery to landscapes and properties. Having trees on your property is one of the best ways to increase its value. Trees also lower the cost of cooling the home during the summer.

Sometimes, it is necessary to trim, raise, prune or just maintain the trees in other ways to keep them looking good and adding value to the property. This is when you need the services of a Nashville arborist or tree specialist.

Here are ways to hire a reputable tree service in Nashville, TN and ensure that you have the best company taking care of your trees.

1. Hire only certified tree service companies

Certification is important in tree service business. Being a certified tree service and tree management expert shows you have the proper education and training or experience to handle all tree related issues.

In Nashville, not all tree service companies are certified and some do not hire certified professionals. “It is important that home owners are aware of their right to ask for certification information when they deal with tree companies in Nashville. Most residents are not aware they can do this”, said Flavio Martinez, owner of Kaily’s Tree Service.

“Consumers need to ensure the tree service company they hire is certified by the proper authorities. Certified tree companies and professionals are able to properly diagnose tree diseases and pest, and prescribe the right treatment. They have the knowledge to identify all kinds of tree diseases and issues,” he added.

2. Make sure the tree company is insured and bonded

Before doing business with any tree service company, Mr. Martinez advises asking for the company’s insurance and bonding information. “Tree companies in Nashville are required by the law to carry full liability insurance and be bonded to protect the consumer. Consumers should ask the tree company for this information and if possible, verify the information before engaging their services,” Martinez said.

Kaily’s Tree Service is insured and bonded to handle all aspects of tree care and management.

3. Verify tree licenses

Tennessee Department of Agriculture issues various licenses including Pest Control Service and Commercial Certified Applicator licenses and every certified tree service company should have them. “Every homeowner should ensure the tree professionals working on their properties have these licenses and are certified for their safety,” said the Nashville certified arborist.

4. Verify workers’ compensation coverage

For the safety of the homeowner, Nashville tree service companies have to carry workers’ compensation insurance for their employees.

Mr. Martinez said this essential. “This is very important. Working with a tree company that does not carry workers’ compensation coverage is dangerous. If the employees working on these trees get hurt on their properties, homeowners may be liable for those injuries if the company does not provide workers’ compensation coverage.”

5. Check tree management experience

“Just like you wouldn’t want a rookie working on your car when you take it for service, why would you want a tree company without experience managing your trees? It is important that homeowner only hire companies that employ experienced tree professionals who are up-to-date on tree management techniques,” he added.

6. Check the tree service company’s reputation

It is now easy to check the tree service provider’s reputation and rating. Simply go Better Business Bureau (BBB)’s website and look at the ratings of the company. Also look at other ratings agencies and see what their past customers have to say about them. This should give you a fair idea of the quality of service they provide.
