How long is my estimate valid?
It is valid for one year from the date it was completed. One can find this in the bottom left corner of their estimate.
Can you give me a quote over the phone?
Our estimates must be performed on-site due to the number of significant variables and precautionary measures that must be assessed.
Do you purchase trees?
We do not purchase wood or trees.
Will you take my trees as payment for cutting them down?
No - we are unable to take your trees as payment for cutting them down.
Do you offer payment plans?
We don’t offer payment plans.
What kind of discounts do you offer?
Please inquire about our discounts with the estimator, at your initial estimate visit.
Do I have to be home for the appointment to receive my quote?
That depends on the work you need to have estimated. If you're only interested in tree removal, you are more than welcome to mark the trees you would like to remove so our estimators can easily spot them as you go about your day. They will email you your estimate and photos before leaving and call that afternoon to discuss and answer any questions. If you are interested in tree pruning services, we would prefer that you be present to avoid any miscommunication.
Do I have to be home for the duration of the work?
No, you don’t! Based on your preferences, rest assured that you’ll come home to a clean yard with the completed work you and your estimator agreed upon. We do ask that you discuss payment with your estimator beforehand if you choose not to be home.
- Payment is to be made immediately upon completion of the contracted work.
- Stump grinding is scheduled after the tree work is performed due to our tree crews and stump crews being separate divisions.
- If you opt for stump grinding, we require immediate payment of the tree work once complete. It is the customer’s preference as to prepaying for stump grinding when paying for the tree work.
- Zeigler Tree & Timber Company is not responsible for any undisclosed items underground (e.g., irrigation systems, septic tanks, etc.), driveways, sidewalks, or grass during the tree removal process.
- Cancellations of a contract can be subjected to a 20% cancellation fee.
- Zeigler Tree is not held liable for any work or damage done.
