Request tree service in Greater Burlington

Send the tree concern, address, access and timing for independent provider review. Availability and next steps require confirmation.

Request an assessment Check service areas

Use the request form to describe private-property tree work and provide the full location and a way to contact you. Select the service and town, explain the change or objective and identify nearby people, structures, roads or electrical equipment. Say when ownership, the boundary or access is uncertain rather than presenting a guess as confirmed.

A wide photograph may help later, but only if it can be taken from a safe place. The request is routed to an independent provider, whose assessment, written estimate and availability must be confirmed. Submitting does not authorize work, create a contract or contact emergency services.

Call 911 for immediate danger and the electric utility for possible electrical contact; do not wait for this form’s response. Use the same form for a privacy request or correction, identifying the relevant submission or page without sending sensitive account or payment information.

Before you request tree service

If a tree is on a house, a vehicle or a person, if it is touching or near a power line, or if you can smell gas or see sparking, this form is the wrong tool. Call 911 or your utility first and leave the area. A downed conductor can energize a fence, a wet lawn or the tree itself, and it stays dangerous until the utility says otherwise.

Nothing on this website should delay that call by a single minute.

What happens after you send this

Your request is routed for review. The first step is working out whether the tree is yours to decide about or whether a town or utility owns the decision, and what a crew would need to know before quoting. The performing company must confirm whether it needs an on-site assessment of access, condition and the proposed scope before it can quote.

The full request-to-estimate sequence sets out each stage and who is responsible for it.

What to include so the first reply is useful

Describe the location of the tree relative to the house, the driveway, the septic field, the neighbor’s fence, the road. After that: roughly how tall it is compared with the building beside it, what changed recently, a lean that grew, a crack that opened, mushrooms at the base, a limb that came down, and whether a truck can reach it or whether everything has to be carried out by hand. Describe access restrictions and when the change occurred.

Photographs help, but only ones taken from somewhere safe and level. Never trade safety for a better angle. Do not walk under a hanging limb or climb anything to get a better angle.

If the only safe photo is from your kitchen window, that is the photo to send.

Timing, and what we cannot promise

Severe weather can change availability and work priorities. Confirm the provider’s timing directly; a request date is not a booked work date. Confirm with the provider whether it needs a site visit or other information before quoting, and how a proposed date will be agreed; the timing selected in this form does not reserve a crew.

We are the local point of contact for your request. We do not perform the work ourselves. The company that performs the work is responsible for its own assessment, estimate, contract, insurance and workmanship.

The tree-service estimate checklist explains what to look for in that paperwork.

Photos help. After initial contact, we may ask for photos taken from a safe distance. Never approach a damaged tree or utility line for a picture.

Submitting this form does not contact 911, the city or the electric utility. Confirm timing with the performing provider; this form does not book a work date.

Request tree service in Greater Burlington

Tell us about the tree, property and timing. We’ll contact you to discuss the work and next step

Every field on this form exists because it changes something about what happens next. The service and your own description decide which kind of company the request goes to. Your town decides who covers you and which local limits apply.

Timing decides where the request sits in a triage order, which after a regional storm is set by danger, not by who submitted first. Whether the tree is on your own property decides whether this is your decision at all, because a trunk in a municipal strip belongs to the town's tree warden. Whether a power line may be involved decides whether the utility has to act before anyone else.

And what the tree could strike is half of any urgency judgement. This form does not reach 911, a municipality or a utility, and nobody is watching it around the clock

Before you request tree service

A downed conductor can energise a fence, a wet lawn or the tree itself, and it stays dangerous until the utility says otherwise.

What actually happens after you send this

Your request goes to a person, not a queue. If the request is straightforward we come back with next steps. If it needs eyes on the property, and most removals do, we arrange an on-site assessment, because a written estimate for a tree nobody has stood under is a guess with a number attached.

Guesses are not estimates

What to include so the first reply is useful

The single most useful thing is the location of the tree relative to what you care about: the house, the driveway, the septic field, the neighbor’s fence, the road. Access decides more of the price than height does. Say what changed, not just what you see

Timing, and what we cannot promise

Storm weeks are the exception to every normal timeline. When a front comes through Chittenden County, providers must assess hazards and confirm their available work dates, and a healthy tree that needs pruning will wait behind a trunk lying across a driveway. That is the right order even when it is not the convenient one.

Outside storm response, the usual sequence is a reply, a site visit, then a written scope you can compare. Nobody skips the site visit
