Day and Night Tree Service
I had a guy from Day and Night Tree Service come to my door saying one of my very tall Queen Palms has a rotting trunk. He is the second person to tell me that in a few weeks. The trunk sounds hollow when thumped.
He quoted $100 to cut down the tree, grind the stump below the ground level, and haul everything away. It sounds cheap. Before hiring, I am going to confirm he has insurance in case he or any of his crew get hurt. First, has anyone heard of this "company"? Naturally, I will not pay anything before the job is completed. Second, is ARC permission needed to cut down a Queen Palm? I am going to call Seniors vs Crime to see if they have a file on this company (the company looks like 2 guys and a truck.). Have I covered all the bases? |

FWIW...
I paid $275 to have two palms cut down, flush cut, no grinding. It is cheap, but if you never pay until work is done, why not? From posts I have read here, it seems you do not need ARC approval to take down a palm. That was good enough for me. Of course I never asked when I put them in either

It does sound cheap. Be sure he carries workers comp/liability insurance and workers are specifically named on the paperwork. Also insist they use protective equipment....hard hats, eye protection, leather gloves.
If you use them, would you please come back and tell us or send me a PM. I, too, am looking to have a palm removed. It's hard to find anyone who meets aforementioned criteria. |
