Description
What it does
A per-tree estimator: price, your cost and margin for every tree
Add one row per tree: species, height, trunk diameter at chest height, the service (removal, pruning, crown reduction, storm cleanup or stump grinding only), the risk (open yard, near the house, over power lines, crane required) and what happens to the debris. Each row shows the price, your cost, the margin and the machine hours it expects to use, and Add to estimate turns every tree into a line that keeps its margin. The rates are yours to edit in My rates; it does not identify species or tell you what a tree should cost in your market.
Equipment use: crane, chipper and bucket truck hours inside the job cost
Set each machine’s cost per hour once, then log the hours it ran on each job. The job cost sheet shows crew, machines and everything else, and the dashboard shows machine hours, machine cost and machine cost as a share of billing. You type the hours: there is no GPS.
CRM and crew scheduling for tree service teams
Leads move from the first call to Won or Lost and become customers in one click, each with their jobs, invoices and notes. Crew Schedule has one row per crew leader and one column per day, plus a monthly calendar of jobs, permits, inspections, plan visits and machine service dates.
Estimates, invoicing and real margin on every job
Estimates print on your letterhead with a signature line, and an accepted one becomes a job in one click. Invoices can be a deposit, progress billing or a final invoice, with Paid, Partial and Overdue worked out for you. Job price is the estimate plus approved change orders; cost is expenses plus crew hours plus machine hours.
Permits, safety records and certifications
Tree removal permits, street closures for crane lifts, utility coordination and HOA approvals with a failed-inspection alert. Toolbox talks, rigging and crane lift plans, aerial lift inspections and near misses. Crew certifications such as ISA and aerial lift card with expiry dates.
Annual tree care plans, callbacks, change orders and reports
Recurring plans for seasonal pruning, tree health monitoring and storm readiness with next visit and one-click renew. Callbacks, change orders and field reports print for sign-off. Reports show revenue, costs, net profit, budget against actual per job and what each type of work really made.
