Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – AA Tree Service

Why is it necessary for a tree company to have insurance?

Tree work is inherently hazardous, involving heavy equipment and potentially dangerous situations. Liability insurance protects homeowners from potential damages to their property, while workers’ compensation insurance safeguards the professionals performing the job. Before hiring a tree service, always request proof of insurance and verify its validity.

2. Why should I prune my trees?

Pruning enhances tree safety, health, and aesthetics. Removing dead or broken branches prevents unexpected falls, reducing hazards. Trimming branches that are too close to structures or power lines prevents potential damage. Additionally, proper pruning improves the tree’s appearance and can provide a clearer view of your property.

3. What will my tree work cost me?

The cost varies based on factors such as the size and condition of the tree, the scope of work, and the method of removal or treatment. For an accurate estimate, please contact us for a free quote tailored to your specific needs.

4. Is it possible for stumps to grow back?

While unlikely, some stumps can sprout new growth. Once a stump is ground down, the remaining roots typically cannot support regrowth. However, to ensure complete prevention, treating the stump with an appropriate herbicide can eliminate any chance of regrowth.

5. How long does it take to remove a tree using a crane?

The duration depends on the tree’s size and the project’s complexity. Small trees might be removed in a few hours, while larger ones could take longer. Our team assesses each situation to provide a time estimate before commencing work.

6. How much does it cost to clear land?

Land clearing costs vary based on the area’s size and the nature of the vegetation. On average, prices range from $3,200 to $5,200 per acre. For a detailed quote, please reach out to us with your specific requirements.

7. How do you properly trim or prune your trees?

Proper pruning involves using sharp, clean tools to make precise cuts. It’s essential to cut branches at a 45-degree angle just above a bud or lateral branch. This technique promotes healthy growth and prevents potential damage or disease.

8. Will insurance cover tree removal?

Many homeowners’ insurance policies cover tree removal if the tree poses a danger to the property. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider to understand specific coverage requirements. Some insurers may offer discounts for professional tree removal services.

9. Can I remove a tree myself?

While possible, DIY tree removal is not recommended due to the inherent risks involved. Professional tree services have the necessary equipment, expertise, and insurance to handle the job safely and efficiently. It’s best to leave tree removal to trained professionals.

Neglecting necessary tree removal can lead to several risks:

• Property Damage: Falling trees or branches can cause significant damage to homes, vehicles, and other structures.
• Safety Hazards: Dead or unstable trees pose a risk to individuals on the property.
• Pest Infestations: Decaying trees can attract pests like termites, which may spread to other areas.
• Root Damage: Overgrown roots can interfere with foundations, driveways, and underground utilities.

Hiring a professional tree service ensures safety, efficiency, and proper care for your trees. Professionals have the experience, equipment, and knowledge to remove or maintain trees without risking property damage or personal injury.
