FAQ
Straight answers for tree service owners, estimators, and office teams improving website quote intake.
It is an online quote intake for contact, property, tree, photo, access, obstacle, stump, cleanup, and timing details. Your team reviews the request and decides whether a site visit is needed before pricing.
Collect contact and service address, property role, tree count, each tree's location, approximate size, visible condition, requested work, and photos. Add gates, slopes, structures, utility lines, stump work, hauling, cleanup, timing, and visit availability.
Yes. Request a wide view of the tree and surroundings plus close views of the trunk or visible damage. Tell respondents to photograph unstable trees only from a safe location. Photos support review but may not replace a site assessment.
Yes. Give each tree a labeled section for lot location, size, condition, requested work, photos, stump choice, and cleanup. Keep shared property access questions in one section.
Only when your company has reviewed defined pricing rules for every collected input. Tree condition, access, rigging space, obstacles, disposal, and site conditions can change scope. Many companies review the request before estimating.
Ask whether the tree fell, leans, blocks access, touches a structure, or is near lines. Collect the address and callback number, warn people not to approach unstable trees or downed lines, and flag the submission for human review.
