7. Japanese maple in front needs limbed up lightly for 3' minimum clearance over turf in back, slightly higher in front so as to even the tree out; deadwood removal (1/2" and larger) = $90.00 7a. The tree is declining, especially in the NE portion of the crown, mainly from severe girdling roots that have wrapped around almost the entire trunk. It needs a root crown excavation (every fall/winter for three years), doing a small amount of root pruning to relieve pressure from the main trunk in hopes of saving the tree = $88.00 per treatment 7b. Aggressive semi-annual (every fall and spring) deep -root fertilization to attempt to reinvigorate the tree = $136.00 per treatment 7c. Treat with systemic pesticide in springs 2012 and 2013 for borer infestation = $90.00 per treatment 8. Large evergreen in back at the SW corner of garage needs lightly pruned off roof and garage for 1' minimum clearance; limbed up lightly for 7' to 8' clearance over turf and neighbor's property; remove vines throughout; deadwood removal (1/2" and larger) = $280.00 9. American holly east of garage needs deadwood removal (1/2" and larger) throughout = $110.00 10. Large evergreen just outside the fence by the alley could be lightly limbed for T to 8' clearance over turf = $90.00 Note: You may want to consider calling Bob Odynski (532-0513) with Foegley Landscape as he could probably help quite a bit with landscape design Note: If the Historic Preservation Society needs to chat with me regarding any of the suggested changes or observations, they can call the office and I will call them back. To accent this Proposal, please return a signed copy of this Proposal as soon as possible, keeping one copy for your reference. For trimming and removal services, we schedule the work based on the order we receive the signed Proposals in our office. The number of Proposals we receive varies from day to day as does the size of each job but we do our best to schedule the jobs in a timely manner, weather permitting. An office staff member will call you the Thursday or Friday prior to the week your job is scheduled to let you know what day the crew is expected to arrive. Please note: for treatments that are recommended to be done on a "semi-annual". "annual". "biennial". etc. basis, we will automatically schedule them to be done at the appropriate time and intervals unless you specify otherwise. We do it in this way for the continued optimum health of your trees and so that none are missed. We do send reminder cards two to three weeks prior to when treatment period is to begin. You may discontinue the service at any time with a note or call to our office prior to the treatment being done. Please feel free to call our office with any questions. We do look forward to working for you to help your trees look beautiful and be healthy as possible. TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDERGROUND SYSTEMS: Customer bears responsibility for informing Arborcare, Inc. employees of the location of any underground systems (i.e. sprinkler, septic, etc.) that may be affected by the trees being serviced or the path(s) needed for the equipment. This may be done by having the affected area(s) clearly marked or by providing a map of the system(s) prior to the job. Arborcare, Inc. is not liable for damage done to any systems of which we are not informed. DRIVEWAYS/WALKWAYS: Arborcare personnel will make every reasonable effort to be careful on driveways/walkways to avoid, to the best of their ability, any cracks or breakage from equipment. Neither Arborcare, Inc. nor its employees will be held financially responsible for any cracks or breakage that may occur. Please note that if we are not permitted to use a driveway/walkway (if needed) and this is the only or most efficient way to access the tree(s) needing worked on, we may not be able to service the tree or there could be an additional charge for a climber to climb the tree (only if the tree is safe to climb). STATED COST: Each service is calculated considering all services or like -treatments are to be performed at one time. Cost(s) of individual services and like -treatments could be higher if customer requests only partial job. Any prices marked as "approximate" indicate the possibility that the price could vary (most often slightly) should the crew leader determine if any additional labor/equipment charges are warranted for optimum execution of the job. Additionally, changing economic conditions which are beyond our control may dictate the need for us to include a surcharge for fuel if those costs rise dramatically between the time the Proposal is done and when the work is completed. CHANGES TO ORIGINAL PROPOSAL: Any additional services requested by customer at time of job will be executed only upon agreement with an acting Arborcare, Inc. representative and will become an extra charge over and above the agreed upon Proposal. Likewise, there are instances when a job requires more labor or use of equipment not anticipated at the time of the original estimate which may require an additional charge. This includes (but is not limited to) foreign substances, such as cement or bolts, in tree trunk/stump, significantly more deadwood in tree, compromised integrity of tree. In such case, we will make every attempt to contact you. Should we not be able to reach you, your signature below is authorization for Arborcare, Inc. to complete the job. OUALITY ASSURANCE: All work is guaranteed to be as specified and will be completed in a professional manner according to the current Tree Care Guidelines. For your protection, Arborcare, Inc. is fully covered by liability insurance and Worker's Compensation. Please note that in any tree there exists an inherent possibility of failure due to structural defects. As Certified Arborists, we are highly trained but even with our best efforts, the possibility remains of unseen/undetected structural defects/flaws that could pose a risk in the future. The customer will not hold Arborcare, Inc. or any of its employees liable for any and all claims for bodily injury and/or property damage as a result of the failure of any tree after we leave the premises. All agreements are contingent upon delays above and beyond our control. PAYMENT: Due upon receipt of invoice; 2% per month finance charge after 30 days. MasterCard/Visa accepted. COLLECTIONS: Customer agrees to pay all collection fees and court costs should an invoice remain unpaid after 60 days.
