How the job goes

A trim you agreed on, then a clean yard.

01 / Look at the tree

Trim or take down?

Some trees need trimming rather than removal. Jon looks at yours with you and talks through the work before settling the scope and price.

02 / Trim

From the bucket or the rope

The bucket truck goes where it fits. Climbing and ropes reach the rest, around roofs, fences and lines.

03 / Clean up

Brush chipped, yard raked

Brush goes through the chipper and the wood is hauled away or left as agreed.

The estimate

Know what the price covers.

Ask for the scope in writing

  • Which trees, and what is trimmed on each
  • Limbs over the roof, the driveway or the fence
  • Branches near service lines
  • Cleanup and what gets hauled away

What affects the price

Tree size and number, how close the work is to the house, the fence and the lines, and whether the truck can reach it or it has to be climbed.

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 far out are you booked?

It depends on the season and current jobs. Call Jon for the schedule, especially if you want trimming before the leaves come in.

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.

Do you give written estimates?

Yes. Ask for the trees, the work, stump options and haul-away in writing, so you can compare the same work between quotes.
