Tell Us About Your Tree
Tell us what you need. We'll review your request and connect you with 2–3 qualified providers. If your situation calls for an independent arborist consult or written report, we'll let you know before anything is scheduled.
What Happens After You Submit
1. Review: We review your request and determine the right match.
2. Introductions: We connect you with qualified providers who may contact you about the job.
3. Disclosure: If you hire a provider we introduce, we may receive a referral fee. Companies can't pay for placement or rankings.

What You Get From This Process
An arborist-led review means you walk away with clarity — not a sales pitch.
Avoid Unnecessary Work
Know what actually needs doing before you spend money. Not every tree needs removal.
Spot Red Flags Early
Topping, no insurance, vague scopes — we screen so you don't have to learn the hard way.
Permit Clarity
Know if your city requires a permit before a crew shows up. Protected tree violations are expensive.
Confidence in Your Contractor
License checked, credentials verified, methodology published. You know what the vetting means.

Common Questions
There's no charge to submit a request. If you hire a provider we introduce, we may receive a referral fee from that provider — not from you. Companies cannot pay us for better rankings or placement. Our compensation model is fully disclosed on our editorial standards page.
Only with qualified tree service providers relevant to your request — and only after you consent via the form checkbox. We don't sell your data to lead aggregators or marketing lists.

Yes. Select "Arborist Evaluation / Second Opinion" in the service dropdown. An ISA Certified Arborist will review the scope and pricing and tell you if it's reasonable. This may be a paid consulting service depending on complexity — we'll be upfront about that before any work begins.
Photos help but aren't required. The more detail you provide (tree species if known, location on property, what's concerning you), the better our initial review will be. You can always add info later.
