Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an ISA Certified Arborist on staff?
Tree Love has an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist MW-5744B on staff and working in the field five days a week. We also have a Certified Arborist, and a few in training for their big exam. (We are one of two company’s in Northern Oklahoma with a BCMA on staff).
Do you have general liability, workmen’s comp, and automotive insurance?
Yes we do, and are happy to provide certificates and verification.
I want a crane used for my tree removal to reduce the likelihood of damages, do you offer this?
We perform numerous crane based removals a year, and prefer this technique when possible. Everything goes smoother, faster, and lower in hazard.
Will you destroy our yard with a tracked mini skid, or cook the grass with a plywood tail?
We invested in a 254 TELE mini articulating loader to move bulk materials. This machine is as gentle as can be on your yard, and is awesome to use at golf courses and tight urban areas. It also only weight as much as a Mini Cooper, so driveways and sidewalks don’t sweat it.
Can we keep the wood chips?
Yes you can, but we really can only dump everything at once. So it could be 500-12,000 lbs of chips (up to 22 yards). There could also be sticks, lawn raking, strips of wood and the rare and mysterious toilet paper pieces. Also, we avoid putting our huge chip truck on driveways due to possible cracking.
You charge to tell me what’s wrong with my tree, why is that?
We typically charge approximately $125.00 for a one hour or less tree disease/disorder diagnosis. Why? Frankly, we got tires of going Inspector Gadget on trees, only for the client to use our recommendations to guide a different company. We also put most of those fees towards our never ending need for CEU’s, conferences, tree climbing competitions, arial rescue training, and fun times and bonus for the crew.
Do you all wear proper safety equipment?
Heck ya we do! We strive to operate like it’s 2024, and always wear our arborist helmets, chaps, chainsaw pants, safety glasses, hearing protecting, and lucky rabbits foot when required. Plus, it just makes us look cool.
I have a sensitive or ecologically oriented landscape, how can you prevent chainsaw bar oil from being slung around my property?
On most light to medium duty jobs, we will use Canola oil in our saws. Nothing is worse then removing a tree, and the oil saturated sawdust creating a film on your pool’s or koi ponds water. Canola oil will still leave a sheen, but you cook with it and it degrades in sunlight quickly.
