HOA Tree Work, From First Bid to Final Payment
Tree work is where HOA money disappears fastest: high-dollar, safety-critical, and quoted wildly differently by every company that looks up at the same canopy. One community we documented went twenty years without an assessment, and most of its trees were failing.
AHS runs tree projects the way a construction owner would: independent assessment, competitive bids on an identical scope, daily on-site supervision, and payment only after verified completion.
We work for your board, and no one else.
What boards deal with
- Bids for the same trees come back thousands of dollars apart with no way to compare scopes.
- Dead and failing trees stand over homes and walkways because no one is accountable for looking up.
- Crews leave, the invoice arrives, and nobody confirms the contracted count and cleanup actually happened.
How CAP covers it
- We source and bid the tree work contract: qualified vendors, competitive bids, and a scope of work written to protect the community, not the vendor.
- We hold and direct the contract on your board's behalf, so the vendor answers to someone who checks.
- We are on site, on a schedule the vendor does not control, verifying the contracted work was actually performed.
- Operator credentials, utility markings, and traffic and pedestrian barriers verified before work begins each day.
- Every visit is documented with photos and a written report to your board. Problems get flagged with severity and escalated the same day.
- Invoices are checked against verified work before your community pays.
Common questions
Do you have a real example of this?
Yes. Our Brookhaven Reserve tree project case study on this site walks through the full cycle: discovery, assessment, six competitive bids, daily supervision during removal, and close-out with a written project summary report.
How many bids do you collect for tree work?
Typically several qualified bids on an identical written scope. On our documented project the spread between bids was large enough to fund years of CAP oversight. Identical scopes are what make bids comparable.
Can you do routine tree care, not just removals?
Yes. Annual canopy assessments, pruning cycles, and storm-readiness reviews can run inside CAP, so the community never goes twenty years without someone looking up again.
