(Newswire.net — April 26, 2013) Fairfax, VA — Lawrence Huver, a well-known professional arborist in Fairfax, has been appointed Manager of Outside Operations by Fairfax Tree Service.
Huver is expected to take his place in his new managerial role on May 1, 2013. As part of his responsibilities, Huver will supervise all tree services provided by the company. He is also expected to help improve operations and streamline response times.
Huver has over 10 years of managerial experience under his belt. He has worked with various arborist crews and remains as the lead contractor for several other local tree service companies. His achievements include experiencing remarkable success in developing systems for promptly responding to calls and ensuring that tree work is completed quickly and safely.
“Running a successful tree service operation requires good oversight”, said Huver. “I can’t take all the credit, though. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a highly skilled crew that responds to direction well, and that makes me look like a star”.
One of the greatest challenges for many tree service companies in Fairfax has been their response times. Spring, which is the rapid growth season, often brings with it property damage caused by limbs falling from trees and contact between growing trees and utility lines.
A significant number of the calls made to tree service companies during spring are for emergency services. This is usually because of trees that have grown into utility lines and become hazardous. Immediate professional tree services are required to eliminate the problem without causing further damage. The response time in such a case could very well be the difference between minimal damage and a life-threatening risk.
Trees and power lines often share the same space, but this can lead to power outages when they come into contact with each other. According to Consumers Energy, it is estimated that 30 percent of all power outages occur as a result of such contact. Any homes or businesses served by the power line would be affected until the problem is fixed.
Homeowners with trees growing close to utility lines are advised to be especially observant during this season. A lot of emergencies can be avoided by simply ensuring that any trees growing near utility lines are trimmed regularly.
Huver’s appointment is anticipated to bring about improvements in Fairfax Tree Service’s performance by helping to reduce the estimate response times. This is part of the company’s efforts at improving its service delivery to Fairfax residents.
