Terms and Conditions
Last updated: April 3, 2023
Trees inherently pose a certain degree of hazard and risk from breakage, failure, or other causes. Recommendations that are made by your Consulting Arborist are intended to minimize or reduce such hazards. There can be no guarantee that efforts to discover or correct unsafe conditions will prevent future breakage or failure, nor can there be any guarantee that all hazardous conditions have been detected. The client shall not infer that a tree is safe either because work has been done to reduce risk, or because no work has been recommended on a specific tree.
Any additional work required to complete the work specified, caused by the client’s failure to make known or caused by previously unknown foreign material in the trunk, branches, underground, or any other condition not apparent in estimating the work, shall be paid for by the client on a time and materials basis.
New Leaf Tree Service will not be held responsible for any unforeseen or abnormal reaction to any trees, shrubs or lawns resulting from the proper application of chemicals and formulations according to their appropriate labels.
