Did You Know There
Are Codes and Standards For Tree Service?
With dismay I have
noticed a continuing rash of spike climbing residential and municipal trees for
pruning. This discredited method is unprofessional at best. Climbing spikes are
to be used for removing trees only. Thousands of communities world wide have
outlawed or discouraged this method of climbing, as it needlessly causes
irreparable damage. Slick tree services use a bait and switch method to get the
jobs, presenting themselves as “masters” or “experts”, then performing non
standard “hack” work. Is your tree service posing as legitimate, qualified
arborists? One way a client can be sure 2 get quality work is insist that
compliance with ANSI A300 tree pruning standard be put in writing.
Use the internet.
Sites such as Rebelriver.net and ArboristSite.com can help you realize the huge
difference in tree service. The standard is very important. So called tree men
are moving the Cherokee Village/Hardy area backward with gratuitous malpractice.
Only one man has consistently carried the standard of quality in the area
(insured continually) since early 1989, and continues to do so today.

With dismay I read of the topped willow oaks. This
malpractice is against ANSI standard. While not law yet, this standard is used
in courts of law for deciding litigation. Joe maintenance man is nearly always
ignorant of such standards, considering the tree a nuisance. It is not hard
work for a gang of men to top off a tree. Hard work is an arborist climbing
the tree without the aid of climbing spikes, diligently striving to make
proper pruning cuts. Sadly a high percentage of professional tree services use
discredited methods to make quick money, the industry is rife with myth and
fast talk.
How many times in sixteen years have I felt the same as Pete Rausch when
beautiful trees are topped? Here in Hardy and Cherokee Village, as in many
other places, this malpractice is rampant. A county judge should acquaint his
or herself with these standards, codes, and guidelines when ordering public
work done. Specifying in writing that all work is to be done to ANSI standard
would eliminate many common problems and level the field for competing bids.
These standards are important. Storm work shows internal weakness caused by
improper pruning often years or decades past. From massive shade trees to tiny
landscaping plants, ANSI standards are crucial to saving the urban forest.
