Our Tree Removal Process
We tailor our services to the unique needs of each client, ensuring that the work we recommend makes sense for your specific situation. While every project is different, we typically follow a standard process to ensure quality, safety, and customer satisfaction:
1. Evaluation & Estimate
We begin by meeting with you on-site to understand your concerns, inspect the trees, and identify any obstacles or site-specific challenges. This helps us provide an accurate estimate for the work. It’s also the right time to request Certificates of Insurance (COIs). Please note, all COIs must come directly from our insurance agent, this is to protect you and ensure legitimacy.
2. Scheduling
Once the estimate is approved, we schedule the work based on the complexity of the job, the crew and equipment needed, and—most importantly—what works best for your schedule. We aim to be flexible and considerate of your time and routine.
3. Execution of Work
Our trained and uniformed crew of professional arborists will arrive with all necessary, well-maintained equipment to carry out your tree care needs. We prioritize safety and professionalism from start to finish. Before work begins, we prefer to do a walkthrough with you to make sure expectations are clear. Throughout the job, we focus on safety, efficiency, and protecting your property. Once the job is done, we ensure a thorough cleanup, leaving your yard as tidy (or better) than we found it. If you’re available, our foreman or manager will walk you through the completed work.
4. Billing
After confirming you’re satisfied with the job, we’ll send your invoice via email (or mail, if preferred). It will include a secure link for online payment and instructions for other available payment methods.
Important: You should never be asked to pay for tree work before it’s completed. We believe trust is earned through quality service, not upfront fees.
