Do homework before removing tree
Q: I am ready to remove some trees on my property. Is there anything special I should ask or bring to the attention of the tree removal company I hire? Is there any research I should do? A: Yes. Here are some questions: 1. Is the company insured? Ask to see proof (a certificate of insurance from their carrier). This profession is very precarious, and these people regularly get injured on the job. 2. Is there going to be any damage to your property caused by the tree

removal process? Are they going to leave any ruts in your grass from their vehicles? Are they going to clean up any debris and wood shavings? Are they going to dismantle or take apart any barriers to gain access with their vehicles
(and who’s going to replace them if they do)? 3. Is stump removal a concern, and how possible is it? Sometimes the trees being removed are in close proximity to areas that are sensitive to damage, such house foundations. How much extra will it cost to remove the stump? 4. Make sure to get several estimates, since bids for this type of work can vary dramatically. 5. Check your municipality to see if there are any permits required regarding tree removal. Some trees may be in a city ease-
ment or may be protected for one reason or another. 6. Verify the value of the tree and lumber being removed. There is a distinct difference between the value of a black walnut as opposed to a spruce or hemlock.
