A lot of people hear “insured” and assume all tree companies carry the same coverage — but that’s simply not true. Insurance in the tree industry matters more than most people realize, because tree work is one of the most dangerous trades out there.

𝐀𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲:

✔️ General Liability Insurance
Protects your home, property, and surrounding structures in the unlikely event of accidental damage during a job.

✔️ Commercial Auto Insurance
Covers our trucks, trailers, and vehicles while transporting equipment and operating on job sites.

✔️ Equipment Insurance
Protects the specialized equipment needed to safely and properly complete tree work.

✔️ Workers’ Compensation Insurance
This is the BIG one — and one of the most important things homeowners should ask about before hiring ANY tree company.

And here’s something many people may not realize — workers’ comp insurance companies don’t just hand out policies and walk away. At least for us recently, it required a full jobsite survey and safety evaluation of our operations, equipment, crew procedures, and overall work practices.

We’re proud to say we passed with FLYING colors.

Unfortunately, many companies either don’t carry workers’ comp at all, or improperly classify workers to avoid the cost. 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤.

When comparing estimates, remember you’re not just paying for someone to cut a tree — you’re paying for proper equipment, experienced crews, safety practices, legal compliance, and protection for everyone involved.

This is one of the many reasons why properly insured and professional tree companies often have higher proposals.

Tree work is highly specialized and can be extremely dangerous when safety standards, proper equipment, and experienced personnel are not prioritized. While a lower bid may seem appealing upfront, it can sometimes lead to costly property damage, injuries, or unsafe working conditions.

At Tip Top Tree Service, safety is our top priority. We are committed to operating with the proper equipment, trained and experienced crews, insured subcontractors when needed, and all required safety procedures and protective gear.

Every job is approached with professionalism and care to help protect our employees, our customers, and their property. We believe doing the job safely and correctly is always worth the investment.
