Figuring out how to communicate your aesthetic goals to your tree trimming company can be a bit of a struggle, especially if you’ve never worked with a company before. Investing the time into ensuring your communication is clear ensures you get the results you want, so here are a few tips from our team on how to effectively communicate your vision with us.
- Have Visual References– The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words rings true when it comes to tree trimming. Collect images from magazines, Pinterest, or even snapshots of other trees in your neighborhood to show us what you’re going for. Point out specific details like canopy shape, branch density, and light filtration so we get a full picture of what you want.
- Know What You Don’t Want – Sometimes, explaining what you want to avoid is easier than explaining what you want to see. Review your concerns, such as trees with “bald” spots or a “lollipop shape,” which allows us to get a good idea of your personal tastes and boundaries.
- Do A Site Visit – Walking the property and viewing the trees you plan on trimming with the professionals who will be doing the work is a great way to avoid miscommunications. Get a few different vantage points, if possible, so you can review which views you want to create or preserve, providing context for your overall vision.
- Seek Professional Input – Professional tree trimmers understand tree biology and growth patterns, so we’re uniquely equipped to help you achieve your goals with some strategic trimming. Share your vision and discuss what’s realistic and what a timeline might look like for achieving your overall goal. We can outline a plan and may even have ideas that you haven’t considered.
Good communication is the foundation of a solid service and helps us deliver the beautiful, healthy trees you want for your property. If you’d like more information or are ready to discuss a tree trimming project, contact us now!
