An arborist is a tree specialist who has special training in woody plants. Arborists can become certified through the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture). At Tree Care by Robert Miller, we have ISA certified arborists ready to help with tree trimming, tree removal, and general care. The arborist certification process provides a level of professionalism and expertise for customers’ peace of mind.
Yes! When booking a tree care company, it is important to ask for a certification or license number and to verify that the company’s premiums are up to date. Tree Care by Robert Miller is fully licensed and insured with two million in liability coverage and two million in worker’s compensation. We can also provide a certificate that lists all employees covered by worker’s comp, which allows you to verify that all employees working on your property are covered. The last thing you want is having to pay out a homeowner’s insurance claim because the tree specialist you hired or their workers’ aren’t insured.
The answer varies depending on the job, but you should expect to pay roughly between $250 and $400 an hour. The benefit of using Tree Care is that we have efficient and highly experienced crews that are fully insured. We also have excellent equipment, so you get the most out of your money and time. We also price jobs so that customers never have to pay more than the estimate.
We provide a wide range of tree services, which include tree trimming, tree removal, hazardous tree removal, structural pruning, tree limb removals, tree inspections, stump grinding, and bush and shrub trimming, pruning, and removing. Outside of tree services, we provide land clearing and bush hogging services, as well as weeding, mulching, and flower bed maintenance. Our ISA certified arborists can educate homeowners about the health, placement, and selection of trees. We also sell firewood, mulch, and topsoil. Hurricane cleanup services are also offered.
We are usually able to perform a job within two weeks. During our busy season, we sometimes have to plan further out, but we will always call after the estimate to let you know if we are on schedule.
Of course! We clean the entire job area and recycle the plant matter at our ten-acre property. We process all of the debris from our jobsites there. We work hard to recycle and use all of it in our topsoil and mulch. We also sell firewood. The rest is converted into biofuel.
This depends on your location. Every municipality is different. Since we are a local tree service company, we know what is required for the different cities we work in. We will inform you if a permit is needed. Our office will handle applying for permits. The cost of permits will also depend on your location. Generally, the cost is between $50 – $100. In most cases, we should be able to have permits in less than a week. The cost and time may change if special circumstances arise.
This is one of the most frequently asked questions about tree care in Brooksville!
We try our best to keep any necessary equipment off of our customers’ lawns. The use of heavy equipment depends on the size of the job. If the debris can easily be removed by hand we will not need to use any heavy equipment, but if the job is a large tree removal or would require much more time and labor, we will bring in equipment. However, we will not bring this equipment into your yard without prior approval.
There are many benefits to having a tree-filled yard. Trees act like air filters and improve the quality of the air from pollutants, smoke, and dust. Trees can also help you conserve energy by providing shade and acting as windscreens, which will save you money. The shade also keeps water from evaporating as quickly from your lawn. In hurricane season, trees can also provide a barrier from the winds and debris. Properties with healthy trees are less likely to sustain damage in a storm. Plus, trees are beautiful! They are a wonderful addition to a property. Well-maintained trees make a property more desirable. For these reasons, it’s important to hire a professional arborist for your entire range of tree needs.
Yes. We have the equipment to do any size job. We have our own bucket truck and stump grinders.
We do it every day! We take every precaution to protect your property. In the rare occurrence that we damage anything, we will take full responsibility and either fix the damage or have it fixed.
This answer to one of our frequently asked questions about tree care in Brooksville gives you the freedom you need to have your services completed without any risk at all.
Our highly trained tree removal specialist teams include four climbers. All of our climbers have worked for the company for many years.
No, but you will need to read over the work order and make sure everything is correct before you sign the work order. If some trees can be mistaken for others, and you won’t be home, you should mark the trees. If you have vehicles that are in the way, move them out of the way of the work.
Trees need to be pruned for many reasons. These fall into three categories: aesthetics, safety, and tree health. If a tree is not pruned, dead limbs can fall onto the property or impact the overall health of the tree. Your tree should be pruned and shaped by an ISA certified arborist to maintain the health and safety of the tree. Without a tree care specialist, you might sacrifice aesthetics, safety, or tree health.
We can tell you whether or not the tree appears to be healthy, and we can make suggestions, but we cannot definitively tell you if your tree will fall or not, especially in a storm. Even healthy trees might fall in a hurricane.
To know if your trees are healthy or not, we will have to inspect them. This is also true for what is possible for an unhealthy tree that you would like to save. Often people, contact us when it is too late to save the tree because the early warning signs of unhealthy trees are overlooked. However, we will do everything we can to save trees.
We are only able to do that with some companies. There are many tree services and tree removal companies in the area. We offer services other companies do not. We are ISA certified arborists, and we are fully licensed and insured. Our employees are employees, not subcontractors.
