A glimpse of some of our services follow:
1. Improper pruning causes more harm than good and can even kill your tree.
We have a saying here at Bjs Tree Service: “Pruning is a science as much as it is an art.” In fact, it’s better not to prune at all than to prune incorrectly. Every year, more trees are killed or damaged from improper pruning than from insects and pests.
Each individual tree has its own requirements as far as which cuts need to be made, and where. A skilled arborist knows which limbs are weak or diseased, and how they should be trimmed. He knows how to make training cuts to develop the tree’s natural shape or fill in an open area, and he knows how to eliminate weak spots so that the rest of the tree grows healthy and strong.
Trained arborists also understand when minor trimming or aggressive pruning is needed, and they know how to properly remove dead or diseased trees safely – without endangering themselves, other people or the property.
2. Tree pruning and removal is more dangerous than you think.
Unfortunately, many well-meaning people think as long as you have a good saw, anyone can prune a tree. This line of thinking can lead to serious injuries and even fatalities from falls, falling trees or branches, contact with power lines and injuries from cutting equipment.
Still not convinced? Here are some statistics provided by ArborGlobal.com:
- The risk of serious accident for a tree worker is 1:120
- Tree workers experience 6 deaths per 100 accidents
- The fatality rate in Arboriculture is 35 deaths per 100,000 workers per year, compared to the average fatality rate for all industries of 4 deaths/100,000 workers per year
Sometimes trees only show minimal signs of damage; it takes a highly trained eye to know if the tree is hazardous and poses a serious risk. A trained professional understands how to recognize a hazardous tree and the safest method to remove it. Bjs Tree, have been trained in safe tree pruning and removal practices and know how to limit the impact to your property.
3. Bjs tree have the necessary equipment and training.
Professional arborists have tree cranes that allow them to reach large or difficult to access trees and branches. At Bjs Tree, our crane can reach more than 145 feet away and can lift up to 40 tons! Our arborists have the necessary training and experience to handle our advanced tree care equipment without injuring themselves or others.
At Bjs Tree, we follow the highest ANSI Z133 and OSHA standards for workplace safety, which are recognized in the U.S. as the primary safety standards for pruning, repairing, maintaining or removing trees or brush. These standards are reviewed and updated every five years and ensure that trees and equipment are handled in the safest way possible.
4 Bjs tree have liability and insurance that protect you and your assets.
Imagine if a large, heavy branch or tree crashed down on your roof – or your neighbors’ – during tree pruning. Are you protected?
A reputable tree care service will carry liability insurance, which protects you and your property from damage, and workers compensation insurance, which protects tree care professionals in the field. Any arborist you hire should have a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability and workers compensation insurance.
