Common headaches for tree service contractors, and what this does about them
Three-tree bids written on the back of a card
It goes out as a real proposal by text or email in about two minutes, and they can sign it right there on their phone.
Customers who thought the stump was included
Type it rough on your phone. It comes out as a proposal in about two minutes, with your company name, terms, and warranty already on it.
Driving back out because they want it in writing
It goes out as a real proposal by text or email in about two minutes, and they can sign it right there on their phone.
What to spell out on a tree service contractor bid
Useful whatever you write your bids in. These are the lines that keep a job from turning into an argument.
- Which trees, by location and size, and what is removed versus trimmed
- Stump: ground, flush cut, or left
- Whether wood and debris are hauled or stacked
- Access, equipment, and what happens to the lawn and fence
Say where the crane or the bucket truck will sit and that ruts in the yard are possible. It is the thing customers call about after.

Before you sign up.
Can I say the stump is extra?
Yes. Put it in the scope as included, as a separate price, or as not included. It shows on the estimate as you wrote it.
Can I attach a photo of the tree?
Yes. Photos go on the estimate so the customer and you are looking at the same tree.
Is the signature legally binding?
Yes. The customer types their full name and clicks Accept, and we record the name, date, time, and the exact proposal they agreed to. That meets the U.S. E-SIGN Act, the same law behind DocuSign.
Does my customer need an app?
No. They tap the link in your text or email, the proposal opens in their phone's browser, they read it and sign.
Does it change what I wrote?
It fixes spelling and lays your notes out cleanly. It does not add scope, exclusions, or promises you didn't make.
