When contacting companies for tree care services, it is important that you hire an experienced tree care company with experienced arborists. It is also very important to hire a company that is fully liscened and insured. Ask for proof of insurance and then verify coverage with the insurance company. While many tree service companies provide general liability insurance to protect owners against property damage, very few tree care service companies maintain workers' compensation insurance, which is probably the most important insurance for a tree service to obtain.

Workers' compensation insurance protects the employee's financial future if injured, as well as provides protection to the property owner should injury occur while performing tree care operations. Safety is always our first priority, but accidents can and do occasionally happen in the tree care industry.
