Depends on the tree. But one cost nobody is mentioning is insurance. It’s pricey for these guys because a small mistake can do a million dollar’s damage and kill 3 people in about 5 seconds.
if you drop a tree on a house. Just close up shop. Claim all your vehicles were stolen, and open up TreeTrimming 2.0 - a legally distinct Limited Liability Company.
You can’t sign away liability a lot of times. Contract law isn’t as simple as “they signed it!”. There are limits to what can be signed away in a contract and liability is a classic

That’s what LLC’s are for after all…
That’s exactly why most cities require them to have insurance as part of their permitting.
Would arborists be liable? Or would they demand you in the contract to take all and any consequences?

Yeah, but do arboristic works fall into these “a lot of times”?
I can’t find anything particular on the internet.
