industry safety standards. The authorizing party agrees to secure pets/animals and to not enter the work area during

arboricultural operations unless authorized by the crew leader on-site.

Stump Removal:

Stumps can be removed by utilizing a commercial stump grinder to remove stumps to depths of 4”-8” below grade

unless otherwise stated in the proposal. Stump removal is only included if requested. The hole created will be backfilled with the debris generated from grinding

and spread evenly to grade. Stumps containing foreign material (i.e. metal, concrete, etc) will not be ground. In the event stump grinding may not be completed due to foreign

material it is at the discretion of 318 Tree Service if invoiced amount will be adjusted.

Tree Decline or Failure:

318 Tree Service, LLC. will make customers aware of any problems found with trees while on property. It is

impossible to know or identify all problems and predict all failures. We will give our best professional opinion of structural stability

and tree health based on visual inspection. Customer acknowledges 318 Tree Service, LLC. is not responsible for

any decline in tree health or failure of tree or damage caused by failure of any or all of the tree after our work is. completed.

Debris Removal:

All work-related debris shall be reasonably cleaned up each day before the work

crew leaves the site, unless otherwise coordinated by the client and crew leader. All lawn areas shall be raked, street

and sidewalks shall be swept, and all work related brush, branches and logs shall be removed from the site at job completion. Roofs shall be cleared of work related

debris only. When clean-up is completed, some small twigs, fruit, leaves and excess sawdust may remain.

Duty of Care:

318 Tree Service uses precaution to ensure our work practices do not cause harm to neighboring properties. We take reasonable steps to prevent sawdust

and/or foliage from blowing onto neighboring property (directing saw dust away from neighboring property, assigning crew member to consistently skim pools for debris/dust,

using barrier,etc). In the event neighboring properties refuse access to 318 Tree Service for these preventative measures 318 Tree Service is not liable for any damages or clean up.

Animals or Insects:

Many trees are a home to various animals or insects such as bees. In the event where previously unknown animals

or insects cause a safety concern we will require the homeowner to pay for additional time required to deal with the

problem. In the event the animal and/or insect is a protected species homeowner will be required to coordinate

removal of animals and/or insects. An adjusted invoice will be submitted to the homeowner and/or authorizing party.

Concealed Contingencies:

Any additional work or equipment required to complete the work, caused by previously unknown foreign material in

the trunk, the branches, underground, or any other condition not apparent in estimating the work specified, shall be

paid for by the customer on a time and material basis. 318 Tree Service, LLC. is not responsible for damages to

underground sprinklers, drain lines,invisible fences or underground cables unless the system(s) are adequately and

accurately mapped by the authorizing party and a copy is presented before or at the time the work is performed.

Driveways/Sidewalks:

318 Tree Service, LLC. will attempt to minimize any damage to driveways and sidewalks. If there is a problem that is

unknown such as a void area under concrete, or thin spots which cause a failure under the load of our equipment.

We are not responsible for this damage. If any damage is caused from falling debris as a result of our work, we will

take responsibility and correct the damage to the customers satisfaction- unless expected damage is outlined in the proposal.

Lawn & Surface Repair:

318 Tree Service,LLC. will attempt to minimize all disturbances to the customer’s lawn and surfaces. It is normal to have some dents in the yard during tree

work/stump grinding as a result of falling wood and equipment use. This is especially true during removals or wet conditions. It is also normal to have temporary damage to turf

grasses from cleanup activities. If the customer finds this unacceptable we can take additional measures to decrease the amount of damage that will occur. This will add labor costs

to the job and must be specified in the estimate or it will be billed in addition. If there is any permanent root damage to turf or perennial beds or any ruts are made in the lawn from

our equipment, we will repair damage to the customer's satisfaction.

Fence Damage:

In the event fences and/or gates must be removed to allow access to the requested tree work 318 Tree

Service,LLC. makes a reasonable effort to remove and reinstall fencing to the condition it was found. In the event

the fencing material is in poor condition it will be the responsibility of the owner to replace the portions that are not

able to be reinstalled by 318 Tree Service,LLC. Any fence damage due to falling debris will be repaired/replaced at 318 Tree Service cost unless otherwise noted
