3. Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for providing accurate information regarding the property and requested services.
Before work begins, customers should inform our team of any known property conditions, underground utilities, access restrictions, irrigation systems, septic systems, landscaping features, or other factors that could affect the work.
Customers are also responsible for ensuring that our team has reasonable access to the areas where services are requested.
4. Property Access
By requesting our services, you authorize OnTop Tree Service and its employees, contractors, or authorized personnel to access the agreed-upon areas of your property for the purpose of inspecting, performing, and completing the requested work.
If special access arrangements are required, customers should communicate those requirements before the scheduled service.
5. Tree Removal and Tree Care
Tree work can involve inherent risks due to the size, weight, condition, and location of trees and branches. While we take reasonable precautions and use appropriate equipment and professional practices, certain conditions may be unpredictable.
Trees may contain hidden decay, structural weaknesses, unstable limbs, or root conditions that cannot always be identified before work begins.
Our team will make reasonable efforts to perform services safely and professionally based on the conditions present at the property.
6. Emergency Tree Services
Emergency tree services may be required following storms, high winds, lightning, falling trees, broken branches, or other unexpected events.
Emergency response times may vary depending on weather conditions, severity of the situation, accessibility, equipment availability, and the number of emergency requests being handled at the same time.
Customers should avoid approaching unstable or damaged trees and should contact the appropriate emergency authorities when there is an immediate threat to life, active electrical hazards, or other dangerous conditions.
7. Weather and Unforeseen Conditions
Tree service work may be delayed, postponed, or rescheduled because of severe weather or unsafe working conditions.
Examples may include:
- High winds
- Lightning
- Heavy rain
- Severe storms
- Unsafe ground conditions
- Extreme weather
- Other conditions that could create a safety risk
Safety will remain a priority when determining whether work can be performed.
8. Utility Lines and Other Hazards
Trees and branches located near electrical lines, communication lines, structures, roads, or other hazards may require additional precautions or coordination with appropriate utility providers or qualified professionals.
Customers should not assume that our team can work directly on or around energized electrical equipment. Where necessary, work may be delayed until the area can be made reasonably safe.
9. Stump Grinding
Stump grinding generally involves grinding the visible portion of a tree stump and portions of the root system below ground level.
Stump grinding does not necessarily remove the entire root system. Remaining roots may continue to naturally decompose over time.
The resulting wood chips and ground material may be used to fill the area or handled according to the agreed scope of work.
10. Land Clearing
Land clearing services may involve the removal of trees, brush, vegetation, roots, branches, and other debris.
The scope of land clearing will depend on the customer’s requirements and the conditions of the property. Customers are responsible for identifying any areas, trees, vegetation, or structures that should be preserved before work begins.
Additional services or site preparation may require a separate estimate.
11. Payments
Payment terms will be communicated to the customer before or during the scheduling of services.
Customers agree to pay all approved charges associated with the services provided. Additional work requested by the customer or required because of unforeseen site conditions may result in additional charges.
12. Cancellations and Rescheduling
Customers should provide reasonable notice if they need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
Cancellation or rescheduling policies may vary depending on the service, project size, scheduling requirements, and whether equipment or crew members have already been arranged.
Any applicable cancellation charges will be communicated to the customer when applicable.
13. Cleanup and Debris
Cleanup and debris removal will depend on the scope of the service agreed upon before work begins.
Where cleanup is included in the service, our team will make reasonable efforts to leave the immediate work area in an orderly condition.
Additional debris removal, hauling, or disposal services may be subject to additional charges if they are outside the agreed scope of work.
