Utilities |
Please be aware that digging holes with shovels to plant trees, using metal or wooden stakes to secure them or using an axe to remove existing trees involves the risk of damaging utilities in your yard. There are no safer tools a tree planting service can use and therefore homeowner's are responsible to have all of their utilities marked. Failure to complete the following steps releases Treeland from all financial responsibilities for repairs or reimbursing the customer for their costs of repairing the utilities themselves or hiring a contractor to make the repairs.
Customers are required to call 1-800-Dig-Tess before Treeland begins digging in their yard. This service is free and usually takes 48 hours to complete. Dig Tess will call the individual contractors who are responsible for each utility and each contractor will come out and spray paint dashes on the grass or places flags where the utility lines run.
However, Dig Tess does not mark all of your utilities which include: septic system, swimming pool water lines, swimming pool gas lines, swimming pool electric lines, electric lanterns, gas lanterns, propane tanks and lines, main water lines, some gas lines, sprinkler lines, sprinkler wires and landscape lighting. Professional contractors can be hired to mark all of the utilities not covered by Dig Tess; however, most customers choose not to hire separate contractors due to cost. It is a calculated risk for a customer to decide not to hire professional contractors to mark their lines but taking this calculated risk releases Treeland from all financial responsibilities.
The customer is responsible for rescheduling a Treeland appointment if Dig Tess or any other contractor fails to mark the utility lines. If a customer asks Treeland to plant or remove a tree within 3' of a marked line then the customer takes full responsibility for all repairs. Treeland's crews are not responsible to verify if any and all lines are marked. This is the customers responsibility because there are so many utilities to review, which we have incomplete knowledge of.
If Treeland's crews see a cut wire or pipe then Treeland will reschedule this individual tree planting. We will leave the hole open so follow up repairs are easier. The customer should take appropriate steps to eliminate any chance of injury by covering or blocking the hole or Treeland can cover the hole at the customer's request.
