How It Works

Our Process for Free On-Site Estimate

1

You call or contact us

Tell us roughly what you're dealing with — one tree, several trees, storm damage, whatever it is. That helps us know how long to plan for.
2

We schedule a yard visit

An actual crew member comes out, not a salesperson. The person giving the estimate is someone who does this work.
3

We look at every tree you flag

We walk the yard with you, look at what you're worried about, and sometimes point out things you hadn't noticed yet.
4

We give you a written number

The estimate is written down so there's no confusion about what was discussed. It covers the specific scope we walked through together.
5

We answer your questions

If you want to understand why a branch needs to come down or why one tree costs more than another, we'll explain it plainly.
6

No pressure to book

If you want time to think or get other estimates, that's fine. We'd rather you feel good about the decision than feel rushed into it.

What's included

On-site visit from someone who actually does the tree work
Written estimate covering every tree or service discussed on the walk
Honest assessment of what's urgent versus what can wait
Plain-language explanation of what each service involves
No sales pitch, no pressure to schedule on the spot

What's not included

A written arborist report for legal or insurance purposes — that's a different service
Estimates given over the phone based on photos alone for complex jobs
Disease diagnosis or soil testing — we can flag concerns but those need a certified arborist

Real Situations

Common Scenarios in Rochester

A Webster homeowner has three trees and isn't sure which ones actually need work versus which ones just look rough.

We walk all three with her and give separate line items for each. She can choose to do all of them, some of them, or none right now. The written estimate stays accurate for a reasonable window.

A homeowner in the South Wedge got a quote from another company but it was verbal and the number surprised him.

We come out, look at the same trees, and give a written breakdown of what we'd charge and why. If the other number was fair, we'll say so. We're not here to win jobs by undercutting on work that actually costs what it costs.

A Pittsford homeowner has a large tree near the house and her insurance company asked for documentation of its condition.

We can give her a written estimate for any recommended work. If she needs a formal arborist report for the insurer, we'll tell her directly that's a different document and point her in the right direction.

Rochester Context

Why this matters in Rochester

Rochester properties vary a lot in tree density and age. Older neighborhoods like the 19th Ward or Park Avenue can have eight to ten mature trees on a single lot. Newer subdivisions in suburbs like Victor or Henrietta might have younger trees with different issues. An in-person visit is the only way to give an accurate number. Photos don't show weight distribution, hidden deadwood, or how close a branch actually is to a structure.

Straight Talk

About pricing & scope

Estimates vary based on tree size, location relative to structures, and how much work needs to happen. A tree that hangs over power lines or a roof costs more to work on than one in an open lawn. If something changes between the estimate and the job — like we find the tree is more hazardous than it looked from the ground — we'll talk before we proceed.
