Many  people are unaware that the tree care industry is one of the most  dangerous professions out there. Tree care employees work at extreme  heights (up to 120 feet here in the northeast) while using dangerous  tools, such as chain saws. The danger is compounded by working near  power lines, busy roadways and other infrastructure obstacles. These  working conditions place urban tree work in the same category as  logging, which is rated as the second most dangerous job in the USA and  has a high risk of serious injury and/or death.

With  all these risks in mind, you can see why having a company that’s  properly insured should be at the top of your list. This is also why you  should make sure that a tree care company has up-to-date industry  certifications and licenses. This ensures that employees are properly  trained and that they use the latest industry standards to mitigate the  risks involved in tree care.

n most cases,  consumers tend to lump tree care companies in with landscapers – after  all, they both do “tree work,” right? But there’s a big difference –  landscapers do not usually work in the high-risk situations listed above  and are certainly not insured properly to cover these risks.

It’s  important to understand how proper tree service will protect the health  and safety of your trees, but it’s just as important to know how the  tree care company is going to protect you from potential liability.
