Safety & insurance
Safe crews. Real insurance.
Tree work is one of the riskiest jobs there is. Here's exactly how we protect our crew, your home and your wallet.
The insurance we carry
If an uninsured crew drops a limb on your house or someone gets hurt in your yard, the bill can land on you. Ours can't.
-
General liability
$2M
Per occurrence. Covers your home, your car and your neighbor's fence if something goes wrong. (Fictional figure for this demo.)
-
Workers' comp
Every crew member
If a crew member is hurt on your property, our policy covers them, not your homeowner's insurance.
-
Certificate first
Before we start
Our insurance agent emails the certificate straight to you. You can call the agent to check it.
How our crews work
-
Full kit, every climb
Helmets with face shields, eye and ear protection, chainsaw chaps and climbing harnesses checked every morning.
-
A marked drop zone
Cones and a ground worker keep people, pets and cars out of the area under the tree.
-
Ropes, not gravity
Near anything that matters, every piece is tied off and lowered under control.
-
Two people at the chipper
Nobody runs the chipper alone. Ever.
-
Aerial rescue trained
Every climber works with a ground partner trained to get them down fast if something goes wrong.
-
We stop for weather
Lightning or high wind ends the climb. We'll reschedule before we gamble with your roof.
Power lines are a hard stop
We don't work on trees touching or within 10 feet of energized lines. Only utility line-clearance crews are trained and allowed to. We'll help you call the power company, and we finish the job once the line is safe. Please never trim near a line yourself.
Hiring any tree company?
Check these six things, with us or anyone else. A good crew will be glad you asked.
