What this site is, and what it isn't.
A referral service, not a tree company
SussexDETreeService.com is a referral service for homeowners in Sussex County, Delaware, including Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Millsboro, Long Neck, Georgetown, Harbeson, Milton and Dagsboro. "Tree Service" is part of the site's name, not a description of a crew. The site has no climbers, bucket trucks, chippers or stump grinders. It doesn't remove, prune, grind or assess trees, and the contractor it refers requests to isn't its employee.
One contractor per request
A call or form sent through this site goes to one independent contractor who works in the area. Your request isn't sold to a list or sent to several companies.
The contractor is responsible for the work
Town permits, burn notices, Miss Utility tickets, prices, cleanup and workmanship are matters for the contractor you hire, and any agreement is between the two of you. The hiring guide lists questions to ask about the job.
No connection to any government, utility or similarly named business
The site is named for Sussex County, Delaware. It has no connection to Sussex County government, the City of Lewes, the City of Rehoboth Beach, the towns of Dewey Beach, Milton, Georgetown, Millsboro or Dagsboro, DelDOT, DNREC, the Delaware Forest Service, the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, Miss Utility of Delmarva, Delmarva Power, Delaware Electric Cooperative, the Lewes Board of Public Works, the University of Delaware, any other public body, or any business with a similar name. Permits, burning approvals, road work and trash pickup decisions come only from those offices.
Where the information comes from
The rules, figures and prices on this site come from the town and county documents, state agency pages, extension publications, weather service reports and published price guides named beside them, checked on the dates shown. National prices aren't local prices. Everything here is general information, not legal advice or a tree risk assessment. A town's or the county's reading of its own rules, your insurance policy, and the contractor's written price are what count.
Calls may be recorded
Calls to this site's phone number may be recorded for quality and to confirm that a referral was made.
