Choosing the right tree surgeon is an important decision, as tree surgery is a complex and potentially dangerous job. Here are some tips to help you choose the right tree surgeon…

Check qualifications

Any tree surgeon you consider should have proper training and qualifications in arboriculture, which is the study and management of trees. Look for professionals who are NCT qualified, and who carry out work to the British Standard for Professional Arboriculture.

Look for insurance and liability cover

Any trustworthy tree surgery company should have insurance and liability to cover any potential accidents that could occur on your property. Make sure you ask about this cover and don’t forget to ask for proof too… don’t just take their word for it!

Ask for a reference

A reputable tree surgeon will be happy to give you a reference from a previous client. You should contact the reference to get an idea of the tree surgeons’ level of work and their customer service. You could also browse Google reviews for further information about the tree surgery company.

Consider experience

Experience is a really important factor to consider when you are hiring a tree surgeon. You should look for professionals who have a number of years worth of experience and a track record of happy customers, so you can be sure you are getting the best service.

Get quotes

Don’t go straight for the lowest bid, as this might not ensure you get the best service. Instead, you should get an estimate from multiple tree surgeons so you can compare prices and get a better understanding of the market average before you decide on the company to go for.

Consider customer service

You are going to be welcoming these people into your home (well, your garden) so you need to be sure they will offer you the best customer service possible. Choose a tree surgeon who is willing to listen to your concerns and answer your questions in an understanding and patient manner.
