Landscape vs. Tree Work — Why Insurance Uses Two Different Codes

Independent evaluation. No hidden agenda.
TreeCheckUp® doesn't remove trees, sell tree work, or contract with crews. We evaluate — and that independence is the entire point. When a tree service tells you a tree needs to come down, ask yourself: Who profits? Our job is to give you an honest answer.
