What should I ask a forestry mulching contractor?
Ask for proof of insurance, what equipment they use, whether they price per acre or by the day, how they handle trees you want to keep, how they treat property lines and slopes, whether stumps are ground and how low, minimums and travel fees, and the expected schedule. Get the scope in writing.

- Per acre or day rate?: Clear written pricing
- How will you protect keeper trees?: Marked trees, walkthrough
