Qualified Fort Myers Beach Arborists

Before selecting an arborist in Fort Myers Beach make sure that they posses a valid Florida license as well as any necessary certifications, specifically for the type of tree care you need.

The International Society of Arboriculture provides multiple certifications, such as ISA Certified: Arborists or Board Certified Arborists as well as Utility, Municipal, Climber or Aerial Lift Specialist. Individuals who are trained and ISA Certified are required to be re-certified every 3 years.

The ASCA (American Society of Consulting Arborists) offers a 4 day training course that teaches everything necessary to become an expert arborist. After completion of this course and successfully passing its exam, the consulting arborist becomes a member of ASCA. Working with an ASCA certified arborist in Fort Myers Beach is especially important when looking to preserve a tree, provide an assessment on potential tree damage or even providing testimony in a trial where a tree is involved.

The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) offers education, training and certifications in a variety of tree service areas such as tree care safety and ANSI 300 standards, electrical hazards as well as aerial rescue.

If they are not insured, you can be liable for costs associated with injuries, damages to equipment and surrounding structures.

Questions to Ask A Fort Myers Beach Tree Service Company

To gauge whether a company is the right fit you will need to ask the right questions. While most tree companies offer similar services, some will focus on large trees while others are pruning specialists for smaller trees.

1. What insurance do you carry? Do you offer a warranty? Because tree care services can be dangerous, especially around power lines or on tall trees that require lifting equipment, liability insurance is a must. Often times larger (and reputable) companies offer their tree care employees with workers compensation insurance as well. Look for a warranty on services provided. The typical warranty ensures that they will come back out to provide service at no additional cost.
2. How long have you been providing Fort Myers Beach tree service? Although a new company can offer lower prices, they typically do not have the industry knowledge and experience to do the job as efficiently as a company who has been in service for many years.
3. What is your safety record? A clean safety record when it comes to scaling large trees and using cranes or aerial lifts around structures will give you additional peace of mind that your property will be safe.
4. Do you have certified arborists? Most Fort Myers Beach tree service companies employ non-certified basic workers who are overseen by certified arborists who have extensive knowledge in tree health care and can provide additional information and suggestions based on your specific trees health needs. Without this professional oversight your flora is at greater risk of succumbing to disease, irregular growth patterns and more.
5. What will you be using to service my tree(s)? If you want service on a tree that you want preserved and not damaged, be sure to inquire whether tree spikes are used as they can often harm a tree. Additional tools also include shears, pruners, chainsaws and chippers.
6. Can you provide references for your work? A reputable tree company will be more than happy to provide references for their previous work. This can include images or better yet, contact information to past clients who can provide you with their experience, whether good or bad.
7. How do you do estimates, consultations or pricing? Each tree service job is usually based on a visual consultation so when contacting potential companies via phone, you should always ask how they provide estimates. Does the price given over the phone change when they come out in person? Will the in-person consultations cost extra? And once a job is completed, how will the pricing look - will I be charged per hour or will there be a flat fee based on each type of service? Knowing this type of information prior to calling a tree service company will not only let you budget but it will help you understand what and how you are being charged before you are required to pay your bill.
8. If necessary, how are permits handled? If the tree you want removed is anywhere near a utility line or lies partially on public property, you need to obtain a permit. A Fort Myers Beach tree care specialist will know that this is required and will that the steps needed to obtain a permit prior to work starting.
