Project Overview
ClearTree recently completed a huge guaranteed day rate for a homeowner in Kingston WA, spanning two full days of work. The client wanted a combination of pruning, removals, and hedge shaping on both the uphill and downhill sides of their property. By booking our guaranteed day rate, the homeowner had the confidence of knowing the listed tasks would be completed in the time frame—and if our crew finished early, we used the remaining time to accomplish even more.
- Work Hours: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
- Duration: 2 days
- Crew Commitment: We arrive on time at 8:00 AM, and the last cut is finished by 2:00 PM.
- Guarantee: All listed work is completed. If tasks are changed during the job, some originally guaranteed items may shift.
