Why trust our numbers?

We're not a tree service, and we don't mark up anything. Our price data is compiled from published contractor rates and industry cost surveys, refreshed regularly, and documented in our methodology. When you request quotes, we connect you with local, insured tree services — that referral is how the site is funded, and it never changes the prices you're quoted.
