There are several things to take into consideration when you need tree care in order to protect the value of your home and property. Many people are unaware that working in the tree industry is the most dangerous profession to be employed in; that includes being a policeperson or firefighter. Because of the nature of working in the presence of live power lines, at extreme heights and with dangerous power tools, tree work carries a heavy risk of serious personal injury and death. For your own protection and peace of mind, it is essential that you understand exactly how any tree service you hire to work on your property is working to protect you from potential liabilities. We would like to take this opportunity to explain why Bryant Tree works harder and is better able to protect you from the potential liabilities associated with having tree work done on your property.

For instance, did you know that in many cases a dangerous practice known as tree topping can not only kill your trees but drastically reduce the value of your home? Tree topping is a practice that involves making major cuts along central portions of the trunk and supporting limbs. This makes the tree considerably less viable as a living plant, since its ability to gain nutrition is significantly reduced. In California and other states, many homeowners have successfully sued tree services for destroying their trees and their property values through careless topping. You can take steps to avoid topping and destruction of your trees by hiring a company with a certified arborist on staff. Bryant Tree is the only tree service in Jackson, Tennessee with a certified arborist on staff.

Another major issue of concern is whether or not your tree care provider is properly insured. We are proud to say that Bryant Tree carries both full liability and worker's compensation insurance coverage. Because of the nature of tree work, there are many individuals that represent themselves as insured to potential customers when they are not. Anyone who carries full liability insurance on their company will be able to provide you with a certificate of insurance sent from their insurance company directly to you. Liability insurance is essential because if someone without insurance removes a tree from your property and damages your property in the process, it is very difficult to recover damages from them. In addition, many homeowner's insurance policies will not cover damage to your home if you hire someone without proper insurance.

In addition, Bryant Tree is one of the only tree services in the area to carry worker's compensation insurance. This insurance coverage is designed to cover the costs of work-related injuries for our employees. Carrying worker's compensation insurance helps us recruit skilled, courteous and reliable workers who are willing to invest in us, because we invest in them. Just as importantly, it also protects you, the customer from the liability of being sued for damages if a worker is injured on your property. If a worker sustains an injury in the course of his job on your privately held property and cannot recover monies from his employer to pay for his injuries, the homeowner is next in line to be sued. At Bryant Tree we believe that investing in the safety and protection of our employees, customers and community is an essential part of an ethical business practice.

Finally, one of the simplest and yet most overlooked issues in hiring tree care professionals is how much verifiable experience does your tree service's staff have, and what steps has the company taken to insure that their employees will be safe, courteous and conscientious on the job? Bryant Tree has been working in the tree care industry in the West Tennessee area for 8 years and has one of the few ISA Certified Arborist in West Tennessee.
