What should I consider when hiring a tree company?

Insurance plays a significant role in protecting you and your property from possible danger. Before agreeing to the terms of a tree company, make sure that you have a copy of this necessary documentation.
Should I prune my trees?
Just like human hair, tree trimming will do a lot for the overall beauty and health of your tree. Decaying or dead limbs or branches pose a severe risk if they collapse in your property.

You can also be sure that they can handle any tree job in your landscape and some companies even offer discounts if you avail of their multiple services.
What is an arborist?
A certified arborist is an expert when it comes to tree care, pesticides, and other technical matters concerning your tree. Before becoming a certified arborist, you should go through a test to determine how much you know about trees. The International Society of Arboriculture is one institution that certifies an arborist. Choose a tree company with certified arborists because they would know how to handle issues concerning your tree, to include tree diseases common to the Evansville area.
What do I get from planting trees on my property?
There a lot of benefits to maintaining and planting trees in your yard. Trees are beautiful creations, and they add to the overall appearance of your property. Trees provide natural shade, and they are natural habitat to some animals and organisms.
How do I know the age of my tree?
This largely depends on a tree's species and the environment it is in. Some trees thrive for hundred years; some can even outlive those who planted them. One indicator of your tree's age is the growth rings. However, you can only see these rings if the tree is taken down, which should be the last resort.
