Hiring a Tree Trimmer in Florida: 10 Things to Consider

Florida Homeowners Be Aware

Tree maintenance around your Florida home and/or other property(ies) is important, not only for the obvious reasons like looks and property value, but also due to unforeseen risks you take by not keeping your trees in good shape.

We spend hundreds maintaining our house and Florida landscaping. How much of your Florida landscaping is just the trimming and maintenance on your property alone? What kind of hazards might you be facing from debris falling off of your tree? Florida has a more humid than normal kind of climate. So, here in Florida, homeowners really want to keep a much closer eye on their trimming and feeding, and then save themselves money in the long run, with proper tree maintenance.

"Regardless of where you are in Florida, or whomever you hire, there are at least a few questions you'll want to ask of any prospective tree services you're choosing." Says William Davis, of Davis Tree Service, of Jacksonville, Florida(In Duval or Clay Counties, Florida? They're at 904-855-0838 for your questions), who then continues: "Your house and land are counting on it."

So here's ten things you want to consider about tree maintenance in Florida:

10: Number ten is actually the first thing you wanna ask. Is the trimming and maintenance service properly licensed, insured, and do they have workmen's comp? The number of consumers who've fallen for an illegitimate maintenance contractor are just too many to list here today. Many of them start out with no malicious intent in mind. But being new on equipment can sometimes lead to an accident. And if your contractor has no insurance...what then? So, ask this up front, even if they're defensive (especially if they're defensive). Ask for proof/verification. Take no shmack about it either. Anyone who gets offended should probably be eliminated anyway. Florida's known for being the place to go to start up a company. So lot's of amateurs come here to begin in business.
