Separate the physical activities in the tree-work proposal
Helotes’ oak-wilt resource distinguishes those project categories and asks for different supporting descriptions according to the activity. That context does not diagnose a tree or select a remedy for the property.
Ask the provider to identify which activities it proposes and the extent of each. Leave an activity marked for assessment if no method has been chosen. For example, a planting item should remain visible beside the earlier work rather than disappearing into a single total described only as mitigation.
Keep the description aligned when the work changes
If the proposal changes, identify the activity affected and retain the corresponding description. Keep available sketches, treatment explanations or proposed species information with the item they explain. Distinguish something proposed from something already carried out.
A City program enquiry and a provider’s physical assessment have different purposes. Ask the arborist about the relevant program question separately; neither a grouped quote nor a receipt establishes that every activity will be accepted or paid for.
Questions about this project
Can trenching and tree removal be left as one unexplained tree-work line?
Ask the provider to describe the proposed activities and their extents separately. Naming them clearly does not mean either method has been selected or assessed as appropriate.
What should remain clear when new planting follows mitigation work?
Keep the proposed planting and available species information distinct from the removal or treatment already described. Suitability and any program acceptance remain separate questions.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
