That wind was pretty strong and if you haven’t noticed there’s a lot of trees that have been knocked down. If it’s blocking a street or sidewalk the city should take care of it, but if it’s on your property – it’s up to you. So who do you hire?

Hiring the right tree trimmer requires some research and due diligence on your part. Here are some steps you can take to find and hire the right tree trimmer:
- Check the credentials: Look for a tree trimmer who is licensed, insured, and certified by a reputable professional organization like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).
- Ask for references: Ask for references from previous clients and follow up with them to see if they were satisfied with the service they received.
- Check online reviews: Look for reviews and ratings on online platforms such as Yelp, Google, or Angie’s List to see what other customers are saying about the tree trimming service.
- Request a detailed estimate: Get a detailed estimate in writing that outlines the scope of work, the timeline, and the cost. This will help you compare different tree trimming services and make an informed decision.
- Get multiple quotes: Get quotes from multiple tree trimmers to compare prices and services.
- Ask about equipment and safety measures: Find out what kind of equipment and safety measures the tree trimmer uses to ensure that the job is done safely and efficiently.
- Communication: Look for a tree trimmer who is responsive to your inquiries and communicates clearly about the work they will be doing.
By following these steps, you can find a reliable and skilled tree trimmer who will take care of your trees safely and effectively. We’ll get you started with these 8 well established and locally owned tree professionals.

Absolutely! Many trees must be removed as well. When a large portion of a tree is damaged, especially the main trunk, it may be irreparable and lead to dangerous decay. Hazardous trees endanger the surrounding area by falling and striking a home, structure, vehicle, or even a person. http://www.fishhawktreeservice.com/
