Questions to settle
Before the crew and truck are committed.
How wide does the gate need to be?+
There is no single width for every job. Measure the narrowest point and share photos so the removal plan fits the actual route.
What happens if there is no side access?+
The crew needs to assess alternate carry routes and interior restrictions before confirming the scope.
Will landscaping be protected?+
Point out irrigation, delicate planting and surfaces that need attention during the site review.
