Why Cities Bond Tree Work

Tree work happens close to homes, power lines, sidewalks and streets. A city bond gives residents and the city a way to recover a loss if a licensed tree service breaks local rules, damages public property or leaves a job unsafe. The bond protects the public, not the tree service, and the business repays the surety for any claim it pays.
