How this site works, who actually shows up at your property, and how we get paid. In plain terms.
The short version: Boise Tree Pros is a referral service, not a tree care contractor. We do not own trucks, employ crews, or perform tree work. When you call the number on this site, you are connected to an independent tree care company that serves your area, and we may be paid for making that connection.
We publish information about tree care in Boise and the Treasure Valley — what work costs, what the local code requires, which species struggle in our alkaline soil, and how to tell a genuine hazard from a tree that just looks bad. The goal is that you arrive at a decision better informed than you were.
When you are ready to get the work done, we connect you by phone with an independent tree care contractor serving your area.
We are paid for connecting you with a contractor. That payment comes from the contractor or from an advertising network acting on their behalf, and it is not added to your bill. You pay the contractor directly for the work at whatever price the two of you agree.
We think it is fair for you to know this before you pick up the phone, which is why it appears in the footer of every page on this site rather than only here.
Any statement on this site about certification, licensing, or insurance describes the standards we expect of the contractors we work with. It is not a warranty about the specific company that takes your job, because we are not that company.
Verify credentials yourself before work begins. This matters more in tree work than in most trades, because an uninsured climber injured on your property can become your financial problem. Specifically:
Our guide to hiring a tree service in Boise covers this in more detail, and it applies equally to a contractor you reach through this site.
Every price range published here is a general ballpark for the Boise area, gathered to help you budget and to help you recognise a quote that is unusually high or suspiciously low. Ranges are never a quote, an offer, or a commitment. Only the contractor who inspects your property can price your job, and that number governs.
Availability, hours, and how quickly someone can reach you depend on the contractor who receives your call and on conditions at the time. After a major windstorm, every tree company in the valley is busy at once. We cannot guarantee a response time.
If a tree or limb has fallen on a structure, a vehicle, or a person, or if anything is touching a power line, call 911 and your utility first. Do not wait on a contractor, and do not approach a downed line. Idaho Power handles vegetation contacting distribution lines.
Articles here are general information about tree care, local regulations, and property issues in Idaho. They are not legal advice, engineering advice, or a substitute for a qualified arborist inspecting your specific tree. Codes change and enforcement varies between Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, and Garden City — confirm anything consequential with the relevant city before acting on it.
If anything here is unclear, or you want to know how a particular call was handled, get in touch.
