Agreement to Terms
By accessing this website, requesting a quote, or engaging jwtreeservicedeansborony.com for tree removal, tree trimming, stump removal, stump grinding, or emergency tree service, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.

Services & Free Estimates
We provide on-site assessments and written or verbal estimates at no obligation. Quotes are based on tree size, species, location, access, equipment requirements, and scope of work disclosed at the time of evaluation.
Final pricing may change if on-site conditions differ materially from what was described — including hidden decay, root spread, utility proximity, slope, or restricted access that was not visible or disclosed during the initial assessment.
- Tree removal and sectional dismantling near structures, driveways, and utilities.
- Tree trimming and crown maintenance for health, clearance, and storm preparation.
- Stump removal and stump grinding with optional backfill and site cleanup.
- 24/7 emergency tree service for storm damage, fallen limbs, and hazardous situations.
Customer Responsibilities
To ensure safe, efficient work, you agree to the following before our crew arrives:
- Provide accurate property information and disclose underground utilities, irrigation, septic systems, or obstacles near the work area.
- Mark or have utilities located where required by law before digging or stump removal.
- Obtain any homeowner association, municipal, or permit approvals that apply to your property.
- Ensure clear, safe access for crews and equipment, including gates unlocked and vehicles moved when requested.
- Keep children and pets away from the active work zone during service.
Scheduling, Cancellation & Weather
Appointments are scheduled in the order received and confirmed by our team. Emergency calls are prioritized based on safety risk and availability.
If you need to reschedule or cancel, please notify us as soon as possible. Late cancellations may incur a fee if crew time or specialized equipment has been reserved for your job.
We may postpone work due to severe weather, lightning, high winds, or conditions that create an unsafe environment for our crew or your property. We will work with you to reschedule at the earliest safe opportunity.
Payment Terms
Payment terms will be communicated in your quote or invoice. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due upon completion of the agreed scope of work.
Additional charges may apply for extra debris hauling, wood chipping left on-site, root chasing beyond the quoted depth, or scope changes requested after work has begun.
Insurance & Limitation of Liability
We maintain appropriate liability insurance for our tree service operations. Proof of insurance is available upon request.
Tree work involves inherent risks. While we take every reasonable precaution, we are not responsible for pre-existing property conditions, hidden defects, or damage to items not disclosed or not reasonably visible during assessment.
To the fullest extent permitted by New York law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of this website or our services. Our total liability for any claim related to a specific job shall not exceed the amount paid for that job, except where prohibited by law.
