In order to avoid any issues of liability and damage have the tree guy issue you a "temporary insurance binder" from the insurance agency. This insurance contract should include the names of all parties including yours. Beware that if there was a law suit that out of state tree removal services could be more challenging.

Trees R Russ, he is one of the best in our area. Leveque in Swansea is very good as well but twice as expensive, he has a much bigger operation than Russ does. I have a landscaper friend who uses Russ regularly and he is super fair.
