If a tree on your property is due for some maintenance but you’ve had trouble finding a professional who is able to access it, we’re here to help. Trees located in hard-to-reach spaces can be tricky, as it’s surprisingly difficult for even professional property maintenance providers to have the equipment that’s needed to safely and effectively reach them. Today, we’re going over exactly what that equipment is, as well as what other qualities you should look out for in a property maintenance provider in order to make sure you get the best service possible. Let’s get started.

If you’ve hired property maintenance professionals to take care of a tree in a tight space only to be turned away because they were unable to get into the hard-to-reach spot, you were probably working with a professional who didn’t own a backyard lift. If you need a tree in a hard-to-reach spot to be maintained, look for a provider who has a backyard lift in their arsenal of machinery.

Backyard lifts are the most effective pieces of equipment on the market when it comes to reaching trees in tight spaces: with the ability to get through spots as tight as 34 inches while taking professionals up to 45 feet in the air, this lift is as versatile as it is effective. Before you schedule a service visit with a property maintenance professional, inquire about whether a backyard lift is included in their arsenal; confirming this early on will save you time and money, and it will help you make sure that your tree is taken care of as quickly as possible.

We strongly recommend choosing a property maintenance and tree care company that owns an arsenal of top-tier equipment. What many homeowners do not know is that numerous tree and property care companies choose to rent their equipment in order to cut costs. This isn’t ideal for a variety of reasons: for one, it means that the property maintenance company must rely on third-party equipment availability, which can and often does impact their appointment openings. When a company owns their own equipment, it grants them the time flexibility that’s needed to schedule appointments as quickly and effectively as possible. Owning equipment also means that a company’s team is extensively trained in using each and every piece of their arsenal; instead of the learning curve that comes with renting from different manufacturers, companies that own their equipment are able to become experts at operating each and every machine they have. For promptness and peace of mind, always go with a company who owns their own equipment.

The best way to determine the quality of a company’s service is by paying attention to what previous customers have to say. Look for a company who displays customer reviews and testimonials on their website in order to showcase their positive customer interactions. On top of that, look to impartial third-party review platforms, like Yelp and Google Reviews, to see what past customers have to say. Researching a company’s reviews is an excellent way to protect your investment by ensuring that you’re getting the quality of service you’re looking for.

Look for a property maintenance provider with a demonstrated history of staying true to the same values you find important: integrity, hard work, and respect, for example. If a company that you’re considering has been in business for a long time without wavering on these values, it’s a great sign that you’ve found a great provider you can trust.

If you have a tree in a hard-to-reach spot, make sure you choose a property maintenance provider with the right equipment for the job – and the values, customer history, and expertise needed for a job well done.
