A low estimate often means the contractor cuts corners on safety equipment, proper rigging, or cleanup—and when a tree comes down wrong, you're liable for damage to your property or injury. Legitimate tree services carry liability insurance and workers' comp; they'll show you their credentials upfront. If someone won't provide proof of licensing or insurance, move on.
The second red flag is the "band-aid" approach: topping trees, flush cuts that leave stubs, or leaving dead limbs in place to save money now. These temporary fixes create weak branch structure, disease entry points, and more expensive problems within a year or two. A qualified arborist knows how to prune to structure, remove hazard limbs safely, and diagnose real problems—like diseased wood or root stress—so you're not paying again in six months.
