Tree trimming is often straightforward. There is a branch touching the house or in a bad position and needs to be removed.

What to look for

Insurance. Trees fall the wrong way. Equipment slips. The trimmer should be licensed and carry liability coverage so a mistake doesn’t become your problem.
Honest scope. A good trimmer will tell you when you don’t need them — when a branch is fine to leave, or when the job actually needs a certified arborist with a crane.
Clean cuts. Proper pruning cuts heal. Hack cuts invite rot.
Cleanup included. The yard should look better when they leave, not like a debris field.
