Compare scope rather than a single number
Height, diameter, condition, access, buildings, wires, equipment, debris transport and stump work affect the proposed job. A responsible quote should identify exclusions and cleanup.
Ask for the same scope
Tell each provider the same facts and request a written itemization. This publisher does not provide prices or guarantees.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Ask for a written scope.
Confirm what work is included, who handles debris, and whether permit or utility coordination applies. Compare provider credentials and availability directly.
