Hamilton Tree Service is a family-owned, environmentally focused t ree care company that strives to do the very best at what we do. We have the knowledge, equipment and resources to complete your project promptly. Hamilton’s management team includes project managers, foreman’s, administrative personnel and a safety coordinator. The management team guides the arborists, operators, and a full-time mechanic, ensuring seamless and superior service. Our specialized team allows them to succeed in this otherwise perilous industry, strict safety protocols allow them to continue to be an accomplished team. Their extensive experiences in all phases of tree care enable them to advise you on the proper management techniques for your trees.
Our crews are competent in undertaking and completing any job from small fruit tree pruning to large hazardous tree removals. Hamilton Tree provides continuing education and training through TCIA the Tree Care Industry Association. Additionally, we own an assembly of environmental equipment; ensuring we will have the safest most efficient implementation for any job. Most tree companies only have hand-fed wood chippers and conventional dump trucks which require more haul trips, more labor, more time and increase the risk of serious injury. At Hamilton we keep your project costs and our environmental footprint low by cutting back on travel, using appropriate machinery to cut back on risk and labor time.
Here is a summary of the benefits of choosing Hamilton Tree Services:
• There are less workers at each site
• A well-coordinated team of trained qualified representative s, not unskilled laborers • Less injuries due to use of tractors and cranes over hand-labor li fting • Mechanically fed chippers, 80% of our chipping is non-contact w ith workers. This eliminates one
of the primary injuries incurred by arborists- injury from a wood chipper. • Less climbing, we use aerial lift devices which reduce worker’s e xposure to falls. • Less overall time spent on-site decreases worker exposure to hazards. • Decreased worker fatigue due to less energy exertion as a result of replacing human labor with
machines.
• Proper uniforms and safety equipment prevent injury in the case o f an incident.
