Call Jon How estimates work
Is my tree a problem?

Six things worth a phone call.

  • A split or crack in the trunk, or a big limb that has started to pull away.
  • A tree that leans more than it did before the last storm.
  • Dead limbs hanging over the roof, the driveway or where the kids play.
  • Branches growing into service lines or power lines.
  • A honey locust with thorns where people and animals walk.
  • Roots undercut by water, or a tree already leaning into the pond.
How the job goes

What to do, in this order.

01 / Stay clear

Keep everyone back

Keep people, pets and cars away from the tree. If a power line is down or touching it, call the power company first.

02 / Call Jon

(614) 582-9056

Say where the tree is and what it is on.

03 / In order of danger

Worst first

Trees on homes, vehicles and roads come first, then everything else. After a big storm, timing depends on the calls ahead of yours.

The estimate

Know what the price covers.

Ask for the scope in writing

  • What comes off the house, the vehicle or the drive first
  • Which trees or limbs are removed
  • What gets hauled away
  • Cleanup of the yard

What affects the price

How big the tree is, what it is lying on, how the crew can reach it, and how much has to be cut up and hauled.

A few photos sent through Facebook can give Jon a rough idea. He looks at the site with you before settling the scope and price.

Questions people ask

Straight answers.

How soon can you come after a storm?

Trees on houses, vehicles and roads come first, in order of danger. Timing depends on the storm and the calls ahead of yours. Call Jon about the situation.

Can you work near power lines?

Jon has taken down trees grown into service lines and alongside high-voltage lines. If a line is down or touching the tree, the power company has to deal with the line first.

Do you haul everything away?

Yes. Brush goes through the chipper, logs get loaded and hauled. If you'd rather keep the wood for your own stove, say so when Jon looks at the job.
