Frequently Asked Questions
Why is tree trimming expensive?
It involves significant risk, specialized equipment transportation, and maintenance of complex machinery with a multitude of sensors that are prone to failure.
Why is limited trimming as expensive as full clearance?
Partial trimming often requires more careful work to avoid damage to lower sections, while full removal can sometimes be more straightforward.
