What the scorecards show

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated each company, ranked against the others. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a small group. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What drives the cost of tree work

No prices are published here. Tree work is priced per job, based on the size and condition of the tree, how close it is to the house or power lines, whether a crane is needed, and whether stump grinding and haul-away are included. Ask for a written estimate that lists each of those items.
