Frequently Asked Questions

What's a Certified Arborist and why should I work with one?

As professional arborists, we have a minimum of three years experience in some aspect of tree care and have passed an exam developed by an international panel of experts. The exam extensively covers every aspect of tree care and requires that we have an acceptable level of knowledge in all areas of arboriculture.

LAM Tree Service has three ISA Certified Arborists on staff -

Tim Albrecht #RM7752A
Ryan Reed #RM2179A
Matt Albrecht #RM7258AT

In addition, Ryan Reed has earned ISA's Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), giving him additional expertise in identifying and mitigating risk factors affecting your trees.

Do you have to visit my property before giving an estimate?

Yes, we have to see your property and the tree(s) we'll be working on before we can give you an estimate. Every job is different - tree removal, pruning and other tree treatments can vary widely from property to property.

It takes a trained tree care professional to diagnose the problem, assess the situation (including structures in the surrounding area, any dangers posed by the tree, proximity to electrical wires, access to the work area, etc.) and determine the best course of action. Without seeing the tree and what's around it, we can't possibly know what will be required to complete the work.

Do you have insurance and workers compensation?

Yes, we have insurance and workers compensation, both of which cover tree work specifically. We're happy to provide copies of our insurance documents if you'd like to see them.

Tree work is inherently dangerous, both for the workers and the property on which the work is done. Without the proper insurance (this is very different from insurance for "landscaping") and workers comp, you are on the hook in the unfortunate event that something goes wrong.

Please, always check the insurance credentials of someone you're considering hiring to do tree work on your property.
