Hurricane Season Is Coming Upon Us

With hurricane season fast approaching now is a good time to have a professional tree service company review your property for hazards that might materialize from strong winds and hale damage storms. From June 1^st through November 30^th, Florida is under a named storm watch and hurricanes are their outgrowth when winds reach 74 miles per hour. It is not uncommon for North Florida to receive the brushing of many powerful storms during the hurricane season even if we don’t receive a direct hit from one nature’s most devastating occurrences. Consequently, home and business owners need to take precautions now before storms erupt and tree services are hard to secure because of all the pending work they will receive. Nothing could be worse than to have a tree fall on a structure and do damage and have a local tree surgeon tell you it might be weeks before they can survey and remove the tree and debris due to prior commitments. When storms hit it is also not uncommon for out-of-state, unlicensed, and uninsured workers to show up in our fair city with chain saws, ropes and climbing equipment. Unfortunately, these migrant workers do not have the proper equipment and skills necessary to remove trees safely and if an insurance claim is involved might invalidate the process. Many home owners have suffered additional damage by hiring these “companies” because they were not prudent enough to ask for credentials protecting themselves and adjacent property owners. These so-called tree companies know they are breaking the law by not having the proper insurance and licensing but are attractive because their rates are always lower and so are their standards for safety, cleanup, debris removal and liability if a worker gets injured on your property. Beware of people bearing gifts. If the price is to good to be true, the price you might end up paying won’t be.

What to Look for In a Tree Service Company

Not all tree service companies are the same. Some are just a step above 3 men, a chain saw and a truck, while still others are licensed and insured but lack the necessary equipment to complete some tasks required, like the use of a bucket truck and crane to remove large trees effectively. Many trees that look healthy are actually hazards just waiting to strike if the opportunity presents itself. Only an experienced and licensed tree surgeon can spot those trees that can be either saved by trimming or needs to be removed due to their compromised structure. Qualified tree service companies possess the knowledge to perform these types of services and often help preserve trees that would otherwise be removed.  Additionally, professional tree services offer free inspections so having an expert survey your property now is sound advice. Professional Tree Surgeons offer a wide variety of additional services so many times if separate work is required, the company can bundle price the job saving owners time and money.
