We make every effort to protect surrounding turf and plantings when doing tree work, such as by using special mats to protect your turf from damage when we need to use heavy equipment on your property. And of course, we're always careful to avoid damage to structures, such as your house! However, the risk of damage is inherent in tree work. For example, tree removal usually means that large pieces of heavy wood are being lowered or dropped onto your lawn so minor lawn damage is inevitable. Lawn repairs are not included in the contract price unless otherwise noted.
