Editorial policy
How our guides are written, sourced, dated, and corrected.
Who writes our guides
Service and area guides are written and maintained by TreeService.co. We don't attribute them to a named arborist or expert, because we don't have one on staff. When a credentialed reviewer checks a page, we'll name them on that page.
Where local facts come from
Local guidance (permits, right-of-way rules, HOA practices, storm seasons, common species and pests) is based on public information from government agencies, utilities, one-call (811) centers, and extension and forestry services. Pages link to the official sources they rely on. Permit and ordinance details are written as "check with" guidance rather than legal advice, because local rules change.
Dates
Each guide shows the date its content was last reviewed. That date changes only when someone actually reviews the copy, not when the site is rebuilt. Current review date for area and service guides: .
What we won't publish
- Reviews, ratings, or testimonials that didn't come from a real completed job.
- Counts of pros, homeowners, or jobs that we can't back up.
- Dollar estimates without a stated method and date.
- Claims of a local office, crew, or phone line that doesn't exist.
Partner operators
Operators who pay to receive job requests are labeled "Partner" or "Sponsored" wherever they appear. Payment never changes what a guide says about permits, safety, or pricing factors.
