There are many insects, diseases, and other problems that can threaten your landscape trees. Tree Professionals Sydney are trained to provide proper care, help maintain healthy trees and provide management when necessary.
Their expertise may include planting, transplanting, fertilizing, pruning, tree removal, and pest management, especially proper diagnosis of problems and pesticide application.
General guidelines for selecting a professional arborist:
Ask for certificates of insurance, including proof of liability for personal and property damage and worker's compensation.
- Contact the insurance company to make sure the policy is current.
- Under some circumstances, you can be held financially responsible if an uninsured worker is hurt on your property or if the worker damages a neighbor's property.
Experience, education, and a good reputation are signs of a good arborist.
- Ask for local references.
- Take a look at some of their work, and if possible, talk with former clients.
Be sure you understand what work is to be done and at what cost.
- Do not rush into a decision just because you are promised a discount if you sign an agreement immediately.
- Do not feel obligated to pay in full until the work is completed, but keep in mind that terms for residential tree work are usually "due on delivery.” Work might not proceed unless the contractor has been paid upfront.
- A reasonable down payment may be expected if materials are part of the contracted work. Examples of material expenses could include tree preservation fencing and signage, mulching, transplanted or purchased trees.
