Common questions
Do I need a permit?
Many cities protect heritage trees above a certain trunk diameter. Check before scheduling — fines can exceed the removal cost.
Things to watch out for
- Crews without a current certificate of insurance naming you — you're liable if a limb hits the house.
- Spike climbing on trees that are being kept, which wounds the trunk.
