Why is a license important?

It is Connecticut law that any company involved in the professional care of trees (not removal of trees) be licensed. A licensed arborist is an educated professional who has passed an exam to become so and must continue their education to remain so. Please support licensed arborists and get the best care for your trees.

Why is an arborist the best person to plant your tree?

Through pruning and removal we encounter trees in every stage of their life cycle. We know where they grow best, how big they get, and potential problems you can expect from a given tree. Homeowners can save themselves a great deal of money if their plants are given a proper start. A tree must have good form, be well suited for the site and be planted properly. An ounce of prevention goes a long way in averting the costs associated with expensive corrective care, numerous chemical sprays or in extreme cases; replacement with a new plant.

What should I consider before calling an Arborist?

Do you own the tree? Does the owner know of your plans and agree with a course of care?

Can we do larger projects in stages?

Yes. Usually, once we begin a project we work until it is finished. However it is sometimes necessary, for many reasons, to break a project up over a period of time or seasons. We are more than happy to do that for our customers.

Do we provide a written quote and how much does it cost?

Yes, we provide all of our potential customers with a free written quote. The scope of a project as well as the price is always shown on our quotes so there are no surprises later. The price agreed upon is the price you pay when the project is done. Please call us at 860-848-TRIM (8746).

Do we require a deposit?

For most projects a deposit is not required. Deposits are sometimes requested for the purchase of materials and/or for projects involving several days of labor. Deposits are not cashed until the materials are purchased or a project has begun.

What type of payment do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, check and cash.
