Customer shall provide free access to work areas for Harmony Tree Service’s employees and vehicles and agrees to keep driveways clear and available for movement and parking of required trucks and equipment during normal work hours.

TREE REMOVAL

Tree will be cut down to grade within reasonable work zone of a chainsaw. We do not cut a stump vertically or below grade with a chainsaw. Customer understands that a chainsaw cannot cut through any material other than wood. For example, if a stump is covered with soil, it will be cut above the soil’s reach (refer to Stump Removal). Some lawn damage is unavoidable during Tree Removal. Sawdust, leaves, and wood chips are incidental to the removal of any material, and as such shall not be considered as damage.

STUMP REMOVAL

Stump removal is not included in a Tree Removal Agreement unless specifically provided for on the face page hereof. Stumps will be ground approximately Eight (8) inches below ground level unless specified to the contrary on the face page of this Agreement. Stump debris will be used to fill back the hole. It can be hauled away at an extra charge depending on the size of the stump. Generally, a stump grinder requires minimum 3’ clearance and fairly even ground without excessive slope or obstacles. Customer understands that the job cannot be performed without access for the machine and Harmony Tree Service should not be liable.

ARBORIST REPORT

An Arborist Report contains professional and honest opinion of an Arborist from a site visit. Tree inspection will be performed visually, on the ground without climbing. Aerial inspection can be performed at an extra cost. A report should not be considered a guarantee of tree’s stability or longevity. Harmony Tree Service should be held harmless from any unexpected damages caused by internal/ underground flaw of the subject tree that cannot be noticed visually. The fee is non-refundable and amendments will be charged accordingly.

TARGETS

Any object or plants within the understory of trees that is/are identified as a “target” is the client’s responsibility to either move or waive rights to claim damages to such unless provided for in writing on front of contract, as above damages. Although our crew remove them from work zone prior to start, we should not be expected to be aware of everything.

If the crew arrives at the customer’s property prior to cancellation, customer agrees to pay a minimum service call charge equal to 20% of contract.
