Specific deliverables include directional felling to ground level, limbing and bucking of felled trees into manageable sections, complete removal of all logs, limbs, branches, and debris from the property, and stump grinding of 6 stumps flush or below grade to a depth of 6 to 12 inches depending on site conditions. Additional stump-related work includes removing surface roots that interfere with post placement or grading, backfilling stump-grind cavities with clean soil or compacted fill, and hauling away excess stump debris. Final site cleanup requires raking and clearing small debris, twigs, and sawdust, with all equipment and materials removed upon completion, leaving the area in a clean, safe, and orderly condition.

The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, equipment, tools, and transportation; ensuring personnel are trained and qualified; maintaining compliance with OSHA, ANSI Z133, and local safety regulations; and protecting nearby structures, utilities, and landscaping. The client is responsible for identifying and marking trees for removal, providing site access, locating and marking underground utilities prior to work, and communicating any site restrictions or hazards. Work must be suspended during unsafe weather conditions, and only qualified personnel may operate chainsaws, rigging equipment, and heavy equipment.
