FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I tell whether my tree is in danger of falling?

One of our arborists’ primary tasks at Green Shadow Tree Service is hazard assessment.

As trees age, they are subjected to a range of pressures that may jeopardize their structural integrity. A competent arborist should assess your outdoor living space and advise you on any potential tree collapse concerns.

On average, how much does it cost to trim or remove a tree? Is it possible to acquire an estimate over the phone?

We individually visit your site to estimate expenses because not all trees are planted alike. When evaluating the cost, there are several aspects to consider. It is hard to provide an average cost for tree trimming or removal over the phone.

Is it necessary for me to be at home to receive an estimate?

No, not all the time. If the trees are accessible, we can come by, examine them, and then fax or email you an estimate. We do, however, like to meet with you if you are available in order to properly educate you on the requirements of your trees and to talk specifics about your needs and how we might satisfy them.

Why is it required for a tree service to be insured?

Tree work is extremely unsafe and should only be undertaken by a professional. Liability insurance is required because it protects you, the homeowner, and your property from harm and destruction. Tree service personnel are covered by worker’s compensation insurance while on the job.

Before beginning any work with a tree service, make sure to request proof of comprehensive insurance from the company’s insurance carrier. If you have any questions, contact the insurance company.
