Snyder Tree Service LLC

It is agreed by and between Snyder Tree Service LLC and the authorizing party (customer and/or customer’s agent) that the following provisions are made as part of all Snyder Tree Service LLC contracts:

Insurance by Contractor:  Snyder Tree Service LLC warrants that it is insured for liability resulting from injury to person(s) or property and that all employees are covered by Workers’ Compensation as required by law. Certificates of coverage are available upon request.

Scheduling/Cancellation Fee:  Snyder Tree Service LLC kindly requests that the authorizing party provide at least 24 hours advance notice of any full or partial work cancellation for jobs that have been scheduled in advance. If a crew has been dispatched to the job site for scheduled work, and customer cancels the job, the customer will be assessed a mobilization fee of $150 for incurred expenses.  

Completion of Contract:  Snyder Tree Service LLC agrees to do its best to meet any agreed upon performance dates, but shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for delays because of inclement weather, labor, or any other cause beyond its control; nor shall the customer be relieved of completion for delays.

Tree Ownership:  The authorizing party warrants that all trees listed are located on the customer’s property, and, if not, that the authorizing party has received full permission from the owner to allow Snyder Tree Service LLC to perform the specified work. Should any tree be mistakenly identified as to ownership, the customer agrees to indemnify Snyder Tree Service LLC for any damages or costs incurred from the result thereof.

Safety:  Snyder Tree Service LLC warrants that all arboricultural operations will follow the latest version of the ANSI Z133 industry safety standards. The authorizing party agrees 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 stump to depth of 4-6” below ground unless otherwise stated in the proposal. Unless specified in the proposal, stump removal is not included in the price quoted. Stump removal is only included if requested. Surface and subsurface roots beyond the stump are not removed unless specified in this proposal. Grindings from stump removal will be cleaned up and removed to ground level. A reduced rate will be charged for grinding stumps with no cleanup. If requested, the hole can be completely cleaned out and back filled with topsoil for an additional fee.

Tree Decline or Failure:  Snyder Tree Service LLC will make customer 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 opinion of structural stability and tree health based on visual inspection. Customer acknowledges Snyder 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 tree after our work is completed.

Concealed Contingencies:  Any additional work or equipment required to complete the work, caused by the authorizing party’s failure to make known or 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 the customer on a time and material basis. Snyder 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.

Lawn & Surface Repair:  Snyder 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 as a result of falling wood. 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 measures to insure this damage will not 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 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.

Driveways/Sidewalks:  Snyder 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 customer’s satisfaction. In the attempt to remove stumps around sidewalks, Snyder Tree Service LLC is not responsible for damages that may occur during the stump removal process.

Clean up:  Clean up shall include removing wood, brush, and clippings, and raking of the entire area affected by the specified work, unless noted otherwise on this proposal.

Terms of Payment:  Unless otherwise noted in this proposal, the customer agrees to pay the account in full within 7 business days of work completion. Failure to remit full payment within the payment term will result in a finance charge of 1.5% per month. Checks, Money Orders, and Cashier’s Check are all accepted. There will be a $40.00 fee charged for all checks returned to our office for non-sufficient funds.  

Price quoted is for the work listed on the proposal. Any changes to the job may result in a change of price.

Payment is due the day the job is completed, if you are on site. If you are not present, payment is due within one week of completion. By signing this proposal you are agreeing to these payment terms and Snyder Tree Service Terms and Conditions as outlined above.
