When selecting an arborist, first check their certification; if they are ISA-certified, they follow industry standards.
Next, ask for references and track records. When getting estimates, don’t settle for the first offer; instead, compare a few written quotes to get the best offer.
They should also ensure they have proper insurance so they can be covered in accidents.

These tree removal permits change according to area. In many places, including Binghamton, you usually don’t need a permit for trees on private property unless the particular trees are protected or very large. However, you might need a permit if the tree is on public land or in certain areas.  Check the local rules or contact the city’s planning department for proper information.

Getting at least three to five quotes from different tree removal companies is good. This will help you compare prices, services, and reputations of different services. But be careful of the estimates. If they seem high, it can be a sign of overcharging, or if they are low, the quality of the work can be poor.
