Licensed & Insured Tree Services FAQ
Licensed & Insured Tree Services FAQ
When hiring a tree care professional, one of the most important questions to ask is whether they’re licensed and insured. At Lamb Tree Care, our certified arborists in Sarasota are fully licensed and insured to perform safe, efficient tree services. Below are frequently asked questions to help you understand why this matters.
A licensed provider meets Florida’s legal requirements to perform tree work. Licensing ensures the company follows state and county guidelines and understands proper tree care practices.
Reputable companies carry:
- A local business license
- Occupational licenses
- A pesticide license (for chemical applications)
- ISA certification for arborists
You can verify ISA credentials at www.floridaisa.org.
Tree care can be dangerous. Insurance protects your property and the workers. Ensure the company carries:
- General Liability – Covers property damage
- Workers’ Compensation – Covers employee injuries on your property
Without coverage, you could be held financially responsible for accidents.
Ask for proof or contact the listed insurer. You can also check business registrations online. Lamb Tree Care provides documentation upon request—contact us to learn more.
Certified arborists undergo specialized training and testing. They’re skilled in tree biology, pruning, disease diagnosis, and safe removal. General tree workers may lack these qualifications.
If uninsured, you may be stuck with the repair costs.
