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).

How fast can someone get to Des Moines?

Response times depend on provider participation, location, technician availability, and demand. Trees on structures and hazard situations are prioritized; when you call, we tell you honestly what's available for Des Moines right now.

When is the right time to prune trees in Des Moines?

Late winter dormancy is the healthiest window for most structural pruning in Iowa — wounds close quickly in spring and disease pressure is low. Oaks especially should not be pruned in the growing season, to avoid attracting oak wilt vectors.
