"The Greenspruce crew was amazing! We had four trees to remove and some additional branch trimming. One was a very large old tree that had grown out over neighbors property in a few directions. They were able to remove all the trees without even entering the neighbors' yards and brought all branches and trunks down without any damage to flower beds. They arrived on time, charged what we agreed too, and worked quickly to remove the trees. They will be back on a later date to remove stumps."

"They did a nice job replacing my leaking water heater, but really dropped the ball on my pro-rated warranty. My old water heater was only 3 years old (also installed by Goering Plumbing) and I was told to expect a 50% credit. I have called repeatedly over the last 6 months to no avail and they will not return my calls. The one time I got a live person, he said he thought my check just came in and he would drop it in the mail tomorrow. I am still pursuing this issue but it is clear they do not want to communicate with me on this."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

Permit requirements to clear land vary by municipality, so whether or not you need permits depends on where you live and what you’re removing from the land. Some building departments will require permits for any underground work or excavation, meaning grinding down tree stumps on your property would require permits. Others mandate individual permits for each tree you remove. You can contact your local building department or a land-clearing specialist near you to see if permits are necessary for your job.

Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.

To prepare for a land survey, you must thoroughly check your land surveyor’s qualifications, reviews, and fees to align with your expectations. When it is time for the survey to be conducted, ensure that you have all your documents organized and available, know and mark your property lines, and inform your neighbors that the survey is happening.

A land survey defines and records the physical aspects of a property, including its boundaries, dimensions, easements, features, and sometimes topographical information. In contrast, a land appraisal determines the property's monetary value. While an appraiser will often consult a land survey to understand the property's physical specifications, the survey itself does not determine the land's value.

This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.
