Before hiring a tree surgeon or arborist, it’s really important to check their qualifications and insurance.
Tree work is skilled, technical, and potentially dangerous. Proper training isn’t just about doing a good job—it’s about keeping people, property, and the trees themselves safe.
If someone isn’t appropriately qualified, there’s a strong chance their insurance may not fully cover the type of work they’re undertaking. That can leave homeowners at risk if something goes wrong.
Any reputable arborist will be happy to provide proof of qualifications and insurance—it’s something we always encourage customers to ask for, and we’re always happy to show our paperwork.
If you’re unsure where to start, we’d recommend choosing from established, qualified local companies with a solid reputation- always ask to see proof of qualifications and insurance.
