What would the $300 job, have over the $1200 one, besides working papers, bonding, and insurance?  |
I got two quotes for trimming two oak trees. One $550.00. The second $300.00. Naturally I went with the $300.00. Two days later the city fined me $100.00 for not having them trimmed correctly. Apparently there is some sort of pattern to trimming them so they don’t become too top heavy. And certain branches should not have been cut at all. Lesson learned.
