  • Do I need a permit to remove a tree from my property?

    Properly maintained and well-cared-for trees can actually increase the value of your property and provide additional safety. Only licensed, professional arborists or tree care specialists like our team at Dillon Tree Service are trained in techniques to help promote tree health, identify issues with problem trees, and provide recommendations regarding the care and maintenance of trees. Experts like those at Dillon Tree Service can provide you with the most accurate information to help determine the best course of action.

  • What situations qualify as an emergency tree removal?

    Tree work is, by its nature, a very dangerous line of work that should only ever be done by an insured and professional company. Liability insurance is important because it protects you, the homeowner, and your property from potential risk and damage. Worker’s compensation insurance protects tree professionals while they are working on your project. When looking for a tree service, be sure to request proof of comprehensive insurance from their insurance carrier before any work is started. If you have any doubts, call the insurance carrier for verification. This could save you from costly damage to your property.

  • How can I tell if a tree on my property is hazardous?

    A certified arborist has a comprehensive and broad base of knowledge about tree and woody plant care. In order to become a certified arborist in Massachusetts, one must pass a difficult and lengthy exam administered by the Massachusetts Arborists Association. The International Society of Arboriculture offers a similarly difficult exam in the United States and abroad. At Dillon Tree Service, we employ many certified arborists as part of our commitment to industry expertise and standards. Insist on hiring tree and plant healthcare companies with these certifications when you are seeking an expert in the field of tree care.

  • What’s the best time of year to trim trees?

    Trees need to be pruned and maintained for a number of reasons including safety, aesthetics, and tree health. Broken or dead branches often fall without warning, causing damage to property or injuries. If a tree’s branches are growing too close to your roof or chimney, they need to be pruned and cleared to prevent them from damaging your home. Aesthetically, pruning can help make a tree look better or provide you with a better view of your property or horizon. According to the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, healthy, mature trees boost a property's value by an average of 10%. If you are thinking about pruning a tree, be sure to use a certified arborist. Unskilled and uneducated workers can damage your trees and property, costing you damage expenses.
