When we needed a leaning tree to be removed, the tree contractor helped arrange for, & provided necessary advice, about the required OP and Coastal Bays paperwork, inspections, etc.

Who did your tree removal?  Did they prepare and submit the paperwork to OPA for approval? What was your opinion of the contractor's work?  Did OPA have any issues with the removal?  What was the OPA criteria that was the basis of the removal approval?

We are considering a removal as well and would appreciate hearing other folks' recent experiences with the OPA process.

Thanks - Chris
