The Dangers of Using an Out-of-Town Tree Service
The attached article is why you should always pick a company in-town to get a tree off your house. Oh, and don't just let anyone do your work without a contract. That should be your first sign. During the storms this past year, the out of towners were charging 50K a day per home. We were on the lower end of the spectrum, which is why we got so many insurance companies referring jobs to our customers. There are two sides to the story, and we know people we anxious to remove trees from homes.

RIP and condolences to the family. Chipper accidents don't just happen. This is what happens when you put inexperienced people on the job. You literally have to throw yourself into the Chipper for this to happen. Most of the workers here at Brown's have been doing this for 10-20 years. Most homeowners do not realize that if a tree care worker gets hurt, they are the ones held liable. Make sure whatever tree service you pick has a specialized policy for tree trimming. Accidents can easily cost a homeowner 100K to 1M. https://local12.com/news/nation-world/woodchipper-shredded-death-worker-landscaper-landscaping-pulled-sucked-inside-into-intimidator-malfunction-malfunctioning-defective-lawsuit-family-killed-died-kill-kills-work-cemetery-graveyard-tree-trees-wood
