Selecting A Tree Care Company This list contains the current licensed Tree Care companies.  To perform work in city limits a tree care company is required to have this license. 

Keep In Mind The Following When Selecting A Tree Care Company:

1. Does the company employ certified arborists? The International Society of Arboriculture certifies arborists and this certification usually indicates a high degree of knowledge. Remember that an individual, not a company, is certified and that the retention of certified arborists by a company does not always guarantee competency.

2. Does the company belong to professional organizations such as the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) or the Minnesota Arborist Association? Membership in professional organizations does not always guarantee quality, but it does indicate a commitment to professionalism.

3. Beware of tree care companies that advertise tree topping as a service. Topping is not a good tree maintenance practice and should not be offered as a service by trained tree care professionals.

4. Reputable tree care companies usually have more than enough work that they don’t need to solicit business door to door. Beware of persons who seek your business this way.

5. Request a written summary for the tree work that is going to be performed and understand fully what work is to be completed, how much it will cost and when payment will be due. As a safe measure, avoid paying for a job until it has been completed.
