- Material or finish tier
- Removal and disposal
- Ground, drainage, or structural conditions
Tree removal scope depends on trunk diameter, height, lean, canopy spread, nearby structures, utility conflicts, rigging access, crane access, haul distance, and whether the stump remains. Count trees only after identifying each one. A comparable proposal should separate climbing or crane work, traffic control, chipping, log hauling, stump grinding, surface repair, and emergency premiums.
