If the contractor had estimated the job properly, there's probably a good chance he would not have been awarded the contract. A 40% increase is not cool.

Yeah, that's exactly what they should have done. Or pay the increased price and don't complain I would have said no, hold on here and quote me these additional trees on the spot, amend my work order and youll get paid accordingly. Why don't people understand that ambiguity in a contract will always get you screwed over. Thinking X business has your best interest in mind is Ludacris.
