Care for your trees needs to be done by skilled, trained and insured professionals, both for the health and beauty of your trees and for your safety.  Both workers and homeowners are killed doing tree work every year. For your safety, do not perform tree work. For your financial protection, hire a company that is professional. If the company doesn’t have insurance or is not a legal company – you, the homeowner – could be held responsible as a contractor.
