Compare the selected evidence
Prices retain their source units and evidence labels. No average or inflation adjustment is calculated across different services, years or scopes. Matching currency labels alone do not make two jobs comparable.
Select up to three records above to compare their evidence and scope.
Compare your own written quotes →Read the project examples
A per-tree quote with homeowner cleanup
This public quotation report is useful because it separates the cutting operation from the finish. The stated amount is per tree, while the author describes two trees and estimates their height in a follow-up. That height is an approximation, not a measured site survey. The work was described as climbing and removing sections, followed by cutting the trunks into lengths. Remaining cleanup was to be handled by the homeowner.
A storm-uprooted maple with cleanup included
This first-person report explicitly places the work in Halifax, despite appearing in a discussion hosted by a Prince Edward Island community. The author describes a very large maple that had already uprooted during a storm and reports one price covering hauling and cleanup, with taxes included. No invoice or independent account of the job was available for this record.
A steep-slope hemlock quotation that was not completed
The author identifies a 2023 Halifax quotation for an approximately eighty-foot hemlock damaged in a storm. The stated pricing unit is Canadian dollars per foot of tree height. The account also identifies a steep slope and difficulties finding a suitably equipped provider. These details make it a useful example of why size alone does not describe a removal job.
How the collection is researched
We check the provider's location or the author's stated job location before including an observation. A discussion in a Halifax community is only locality context when the exact job location is unknown. No household address, username, invoice image or residential map point is copied into the collection.
Unknown currency, tax, date, quantity or finish stays unknown. We do not average across providers, transform research standard errors into price ranges, turn an unperformed quotation into a completed job, or scale a land-clearing rate into a tree-removal price.
