Montana referral service
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about this referral service, before you call or send a request.
These answers describe how this referral service works. A referred contractor can answer questions about your specific job.
Do you remove the trees yourselves?
No. This site is a referral service. We connect you with an independent local tree contractor. They inspect the job, set the price, and do the work if you hire them.
How much does tree removal cost?
It varies widely. Small, open-yard trees may be a few hundred dollars; large or tightly placed trees can run into the thousands. See our cost guide for typical ranges, not a quote.
The tree is already on my roof. What now?
Stay clear of downed lines and unstable branches. If power lines are involved, contact the utility first. Then request a referral and describe the situation so a local crew can follow up.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Some Montana cities have rules for trees in the right-of-way or for certain species and sizes. We do not issue permits. Ask the contractor and your city before work starts.
What about trees on the property line?
Boundary trees can be a legal and neighbor question. A contractor can talk about the physical job; they cannot settle a property dispute. Work that out before cutting when you can.
Is the crew insured?
We do not make insurance or license claims on this site. Ask any referred company directly for current insurance, including whether they carry coverage for tree work, and for credentials that apply in your city.
Do you grind the stump too?
Often that is a separate line item. Tell us if you want the stump ground when you request a referral so the contractor can include it in a quote.
Can you take trees near power lines?
Work near utility lines may require the utility or a qualified line-clearance crew. Do not attempt it yourself. Mention any nearby lines in your request.
