FAQ

Common questions

Are the crews insured?

We connect you with independent, insured local tree care operators — and for tree work we recommend verifying both liability and workers' comp certificates yourself; our guide explains the quick checks (Iowa has no statewide tree-care license).

Do I need the city's permission to remove a tree in West Des Moines?

Trees in the public right-of-way (between sidewalk and street) are typically city-managed, and some Iowa cities require permits for their removal or work near them. Trees fully on private property are generally yours to manage — when in doubt, one call to the city forester settles it.

What should I do about my ash tree in West Des Moines?

Emerald ash borer is confirmed across Iowa and untreated ash trees are expected to decline. Healthy, valuable ash can be protected with ongoing insecticide treatment; declining ones are usually safer and cheaper to remove before they become brittle hazards. An on-site assessment settles which side yours is on.
