Terms of use for this website

What this site is

This is an informational website about tree-risk assessment and tree removal in residential property, and a way to describe your situation and ask for service.

By using it, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not, please do not use the site.

The guidance here is general, not an assessment

Everything written on this site describes how tree-risk situations generally present and how they are generally evaluated. It is not an assessment of your tree or property, and it cannot be — no one has looked at it.

Trees differ by species, age, structural history, soil, and site conditions, and the same visible sign routinely has several possible causes with materially different implications. Do not treat anything here as a substitute for a qualified professional inspecting the actual tree.

This site does not provide instructions for cutting, climbing, rigging, or removing a tree. If a tree presents an immediate hazard — a downed limb near a power line, a leaning tree over a structure, visible failure in progress — keep people and pets away and contact the appropriate emergency or utility authority.

Sending us an enquiry

Submitting the form starts a conversation. It does not create a service agreement, book a visit, or commit either of us to anything.

Any actual work is agreed separately, in a written scope for a specific property, before it begins.

Please give accurate information in the form. A description that does not match the property wastes your time first.

Content on this site

The text, illustrations, diagrams and layout here are ours. You are welcome to read them, print them, and link to them. Republishing them as your own is not permitted.

We try to keep everything accurate and current, and we will correct what we find to be wrong. We do not promise the site is free of error or always available.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from acting on the general information on this site rather than on an assessment specific to your property.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.

Changes

We may update these terms. The current version is always the one on this page, with its date at the top.
