We guarantee to deliver what we have promised. If we do not, we will do our best to ensure you are satisfied. Our Guarantee shows our commitment to creating lifelong customer relationships.

Insurance
Our workers are covered by Worker’s Compensation. The company is insured for personal injury and property damage liability. Proof of insurance can be verified by requesting a copy of our Certificate of Insurance.
Working With Living Things
Trees and other plant life are living, changing organisms affected by several factors beyond our control. There is no guarantee on tree, plant or general landscape safety, neither health nor condition is expressed or implied in this contract unless specifically stated in writing.
Tree Care Standards
All work is to be performed in accordance with current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Practices for Tree Care Operations.
Ownership of Trees
Signature/acceptance constitutes a representation and warranty that the trees referenced in this quote are either owned by the signee or that written permission has been received to work on trees which are not on the signee’s property. Signee will indemnify and hold us harmless for any breach of this representation and warranty.
Underground Fixtures
We are not responsible for any underground property unless we have been informed of its exact location by the owner or the appropriate local utility location agency.
Tree Risk

When elevated risk conditions in trees are observed and identified by our representatives and a contract has been signed to proceed with the remedial work we have recommended, we will make a reasonable effort to proceed with the job promptly. 

Equipment Access
The prices quoted assume our truck-mounted equipment will have access to the property wherever possible with no damage. If this is unacceptable, we must know prior to acceptance of quote and scheduling. We will not be responsible for damage to substandard blacktop and concrete surfaces caused by our vehicles.
Arborist Disclosure Statement
Arborists cannot detect or anticipate every condition or event that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree, or guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances. Trees can be managed but not controlled.
Scheduling
Job scheduling is dependent on weather conditions and work loads. Most jobs will be scheduled for specific days. However, on smaller jobs and with your permission we will fit your job in on a day when our work load isn’t so full in which case we may come by unannounced.
Tree Removal
Complete removal of the tree as close to ground level as possible and cleanup of all debris (unless otherwise stated). Additional charges may be applied for unseen concrete or metal in tree upon notification of owner. Some lawn damage may occur however we will do our best to minimize it.
Stump Removal

Mechanical grinding of the visible tree stump and its roots to below ground level. The debris from the stump grinding will be left in a mound where the stump was previously located.

Clean-Up
Logs, brush, leaves, twigs, will be removed (unless otherwise stated on proposal). The area will be raked but some excess sawdust may remain.
Cabling/Bracing
Cabling and bracing of trees is intended to reduce hazard potential only. It does not permanently remedy structural weaknesses, is not a guarantee against failure, and requires periodic inspection.
Payment
We accept cash, checks and major credit cards (Visa, Discover, Master Card, AMEX) for payment. Paying by check authorizes Baker Tree Services, Inc. to send the information from your check electronically to your bank for payment. This is a one-time charge in which funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day as payment is received. Your account will be debited in the amount of your check and the transaction will appear on your bank statement. If we cannot post the transaction electronically, you authorize us to present a copy of your check for payment. If your check is returned for insufficient funds, you will be charged any bank fees that we incur as the result of the bad check and expected to immediately make the check good.
