What does a tree service do?
Tree service companies typically offer a variety of tree trimming maintenance, repair and restoration services. These include things like removal, pruning, fertilizing, mulching, cabling or bracing trees to make them stronger plus much more.
Before we get into the various type of tree care services that contractors provide, we should first answer the following question: What is a tree expert called?
A tree expert is known as an Arborist
Arborists provide tree work of all types to clients such as trimming, planting, inspection, fertilizing and more.
An ISA Certified Arborist is someone who has completed the following education requirements: a bachelor’s degree in forestry or horticulture plus at least one year of work experience that involved working with trees professionally. They also have to pass an exam called Certified Arborist Examination/National Exam and often are members of the Tree Care Industry Association.
Why hire an arborist for tree care services instead of doing it yourself?
There are many reasons for hiring a company with experience instead of attempting to do it yourself. One of the primary reasons is safety. Tree removal poses serious risk for homeowners, employees, or even passersby if it is not done correctly.
Another reason to hire a professional tree care company is the liability of injury claim that could arise when attempting to remove trees by yourself. For example, what happens if you’re using a chainsaw and cut off your fingers? You would need workers compensation insurance in order to have the cost of medical bills covered.
There's also potential for property damage. Falling limbs and branches from tree pruning or felling a tree improperly can result in severe damage to your home, lawn or landscape that you wouldn't be compensated for with homeowners insurance coverage alone.
Yet another reason is because certified arborists are typically fully insured and have expertise with pruning. If you’ve ever attempted to trim trees and shrubs, it is not something that you should risk doing without experience or the proper safety gear.
In addition, arborists can provide information about any permits that may be required by your Fredericksburg area community.
How much does a tree removal job cost?
The price of a tree removal job varies depending on several factors, such as:
- Location
- Size
- Type or species
- Site access
- Risk of injury or property damage
- Is the debris being left on site, or is it going to be hauled off?
- Is it near utility lines?
- Are emergency services needed?
- Is tree stump removal (stump grinding) needed?
A typical price range for the cost of tree felling services in Fredericksburg is between $200 to $1000 for a tree between 25 feet and about 75 feet but can be higher if the job presents some of the challenges listed above.
Can you negotiate tree removal?
The short answer is… Sometimes. If you decide to leave the debris on your property, you can ask for a lower price. For example, you could ask the tree company to cut the trunk up into sections to be used as firewood.
Another option would be to have the tree limbs chipped and left on site to be used as mulch. Almost all tree services show up to jobs with wood chippers for mulching trees.
And if you have a tree that needs pruning or removed that is near power lines, you could contact your utility company to ask for information about having them do the work (which is usually free).
