Initials: ( ) WORKMANSHIP The Work will be performed in a professional manner by experienced personnel outfitted with appropriate tools and equipment necessary to complete the Work properly and safely. A typical priority deployment tree removal operation will involve use of a crane, multiple personnel, and a wheel loader, among other equipment, so that debris may be lifted and removed in a manner that minimizes the potential for additional damage to all structures. Further, to minimize hazards to workers, HLA Tree Service uses light towers to illuminate the Work site and chip trucks and chippers to clear the hazard zones. HLA Tree Service may place temporary tarps on structures damaged from trees and debris when the Work is complete. HLA Tree Service reserves the right, in its sole and absolute judgment, to determine what equipment, labor, and materials will be used to safely perform the Work. PERFORMANCE BY HLA Tree Service Work crews arrive at the Work site unannounced unless otherwise designated in this Contract as a special remark and initialed by both you and an agent of HLA Tree Service. HLA Tree Service shall attempt to meet all scheduled or estimated performance dates but shall not be liable for damages due to delays arising from inclement weather or other causes beyond its control. You are not relieved of your responsibilities under this Contract because of delays. INSURANCE HLA Tree Service is insured for liability resulting from injury to persons and property and maintains Workers Compensation Insurance. STUMP GRINDING If stump grinding is deemed necessary in order to repair modified structures on the property such as uplifted fences, underground utilities, sprinkler systems, or disheveled driveways etc, HLA Tree Service will arrange for stump grinding. The cost of stump grinding is $200 per linear foot as measured from outside root tip to outside root tip. Stump grinding, if included, is generally completed several days after the tree is removed. ***Stump shaving from stump grindings will not be considered debris and thus will not be hauled off of property. ACCESS TO WORK You shall use your best efforts to facilitate HLA Tree Service performance of the Work and shall provide free access to work areas for HLA Tree Service and its employees and agents and their vehicles. You agree to keep driveways clear and available for movement and parking of trucks and equipment to be used during normal work hours or as otherwise requested as necessary to perform the Work.

INHERENT HAZARDS AND RISKS Trees inherently pose a certain degree of hazard and risk from breakage, failure, and other causes and conditions. Recommendations made by HLA Tree Service are intended to minimize or reduce hazardous conditions that may be associated with trees. While such recommendations should reduce the risk of tree failure, they cannot eliminate such risk, especially in the event of a storm or any other act of God. Therefore, there is and can be no guarantee that efforts to mitigate against unsafe conditions will prevent breakage or failure of a tree. Additionally, some hazardous conditions in landscapes are apparent, while others require detailed inspection and evaluation. While a detailed inspection and evaluation should and normally does result in the detection of potentially hazardous conditions, there can be no guarantee or certainty that all hazardous conditions will be detected.
