When you’re faced with choosing a tree service provider, whether it’s for tree trimming, tree removal, stump removal, or annual pruning, it can be difficult to tell which one is the right fit for you and your project. Is it better to choose a local tree company, or a big-name chain you might have heard of and seen commercials about? What’s right in YOUR situation?
We’re going to kill the suspense and cut right to the chase — it’s always better to choose a trusted, reputable, local tree company. Always!
You’re thinking, “Of COURSE they’re saying that — they’re a trusted, reputable, local tree company!” And we are! But that doesn’t mean we’re not right. We’ll show you why.
Roots in the Community
Your local tree service company has been founded by, staffed by, and hired by people who are members of your community. These are people you may know and trust personally, or possibly only by reputation. But they are your neighbors, and they probably know people you know. They have a history and a reputation you can research, referrals you can follow up on, and reviews you can trust, so when you hire them, you’ll be able to have a lot of information about their integrity and the standards of their work.
Can’t Hide in the Woods
A local company relies on word-of-mouth recommendations to sustain their business. If they have any shady practices or shoddy work in their past, they know it will haunt them and hurt their ability to find new customers in the future. For the same reason, they need to be accountable for any work they do into the future. They’re going to make sure you’re happy with their work and that they solve your problems to the very best of their ability. And if there are any problems, they’ll want to make sure they’re sorted out. They are as interested in your happiness at the end of the job as you are. They want to build a stellar reputation and ensure that you’ll recommend them to your friends and neighbors when they’re looking for a great tree company.
Years Spent Growing Their Excellent Reputation
If a tree company near you has an excellent reputation, fantastic online reviews, and is readily recommended by their previous customers, you know they built that over a long time, with great care. That’s something they take seriously and will be motivated to protect. This lets you know that they have stood by their work for past customers, and they’ll do the same for you. You can hire a trusted local business with a lot of confidence.
Part of the Landscape
A local business is a creation of people from your community. It has probably been around for a while, and if it hasn’t, the people who founded it and work for it probably have. It’s a part of your local economy. They’ve probably sponsored the Little League team your nephew plays on or offered services for fundraisers to help out in your community. These are people you know, and you’ll know if you can trust them. You can look them in the eye and speak to them directly about their work and services. It might sound old-fashioned, but there’s still something to be said for the personal touch.
Tree puns aside, it’s true that your local tree company is a safe bet for excellent service, especially if they’ve spent a long time building a fantastic reputation and becoming a trusted business within your local community.
