It takes a seasoned professional who is constantly educating himself on the latest in tree-trimming techniques to ensure the job is done both correctly and safely.
Expert tree trimmers also have all the necessary professional tools, including safety equipment such as chain saw chaps, safety glasses, hard hats and gloves. Because cleaning up and removing tree branches frequently occurs around live electrical lines, most companies always have at least one person on site who is trained in CPR.
