    Depends on the tree. But one cost nobody is mentioning is insurance. It’s pricey for these guys because a small mistake can do a million dollar’s damage and kill 3 people in about 5 seconds.

      Would arborists be liable? Or would they demand you in the contract to take all and any consequences?

        You can’t sign away liability a lot of times. Contract law isn’t as simple as “they signed it!”. There are limits to what can be signed away in a contract and liability is a classic

          Yeah, but do arboristic works fall into these “a lot of times”?
          I can’t find anything particular on the internet.
