A per-tree quote with homeowner cleanup

What this example can teach you

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.

When comparing a quote for a similar scope, ask where the cut wood will be left, whether brush is chipped and who moves material out of the work area. A lower cutting-only figure cannot be compared directly with a quote that includes hauling, grinding and restoration. Enter those missing services separately in the quote worksheet rather than assuming they are free.

The report says tax is additional but does not establish a tax rate or currency. It is also a quotation rather than proof of a completed paid job. The figure therefore remains a historical source observation and is excluded from a present-day market estimate.
