On-site evaluations and quotes are provided at no charge when a property owner has a clear understanding of the work they would like completed. This typically includes specific pruning requests, removals, or other defined tree work.

If a broader review of tree condition, risk, or long-term planning is requested, this falls under a structured tree risk assessment or consulting service, which may involve a fee.

Our goal is to match the type of evaluation to the scope of the request — ensuring fairness and clarity for both parties.

","FeaturedItemSection",{"_36":145,"_27":146,"_40":41,"_141":147,"_32":143},"Professional Assessments","Mjc3OTM4Mw==","

Certain requests require a more in-depth evaluation than a standard on-site quote. In these cases, a structured assessment fee applies.

When an Assessment Fee Applies

An assessment fee is typically required when:

A full-property tree review is requested
Multiple trees are being evaluated without a defined scope of work
A written report or documentation is requested
Risk evaluation is needed for insurance, rental, or liability purposes
Long-term planning or phased management is being discussed
The client is uncertain what work is required and is seeking professional guidance

In these situations, time is dedicated not only to evaluating tree condition, but also to prioritizing recommendations and documenting findings where appropriate.

Tree Risk Assessment & Planning Fees

Structured assessments are available when a broader review of tree condition, risk, or long-term management is requested.

Single Tree Risk Assessment — $325

Evaluation of a specific tree of concern, including on-site review and practical recommendations.

Multi-Tree Assessment — $400 (Up to 3 trees)

Assessment of multiple trees with prioritized guidance based on location, use, and condition.

Additional trees: +$75 per tree.

Property-Level Tree Management Plan — $550

Comprehensive walk-through of the property with phased recommendations and written summary outlining management priorities.

Assessment fees may be credited toward approved tree work where appropriate.

Why an Assessment Fee Exists

Structured assessments require time, professional judgment, and in some cases documentation. The assessment fee ensures that this service is delivered thoughtfully and without pressure to proceed with unnecessary work.

Our approach is based on clarity and responsible recommendations — not volume-based estimates.

What Is Not Considered an Assessment

If you have a clearly defined request — such as removing a specific tree or pruning identified branches — a standard on-site evaluation and quote is provided at no charge.

The assessment fee applies only when broader analysis or documentation is requested.

",{"_36":149,"_27":150,"_40":41,"_141":151,"_32":143},"Minimum On-Site Service","Mjc3OTM4NA==","

Due to travel distances, equipment mobilization, and crew time, our minimum on-site service charge for hands-on tree work is $400.

This minimum applies to services such as pruning, removals, stump grinding, fertilization, and other physical tree work performed on-site.

This minimum does not apply to:

On-site evaluations and quotes for clearly defined work
Tree risk assessments or written reports
Tree inventory and planning services
Education or consulting services

Those services are structured separately and will be discussed in advance where applicable.

Our goal is clarity and fairness in how services are priced and delivered.

Tree work requires technical skill, specialized equipment, and careful planning. Costs vary depending on site conditions and scope, but professional arboriculture involves far more than simply cutting wood.

Training & Professional Standards

Safe tree work depends on structured training, experience, and sound judgment. Every project is approached with deliberate planning and professional safety practices.

Equipment & Maintenance

Professional tree care requires maintained trucks, chippers, stump grinders, climbing systems, and support equipment. Tools are inspected, maintained, and replaced as necessary to ensure reliable and responsible operation.

Experienced Crew

Consistent quality depends on capable people. We work with trained, experienced professionals who take pride in their craft and operate within clear safety standards. Investing in qualified individuals ensures accountability and dependable execution on every job.

Our Standard

We operate at a professional standard. Our pricing reflects the level of training, equipment, planning, and responsibility required to perform tree work properly.

Our focus is on delivering work that is safe, measured, and done correctly — without shortcuts.

We understand that tree work can represent a significant investment, particularly on larger or heavily treed properties. When appropriate, we are able to adjust scope and scheduling to align with your priorities and budget.

Options may include:

Phasing work over multiple seasons
Prioritizing higher-risk concerns first
Addressing specific trees rather than full-property work
Reducing cleanup or wood processing where suitable

Our goal is to provide practical solutions without compromising safety or professional standards.

Clear communication allows work to be planned responsibly and completed in a way that makes sense for your property.
