Field guide

Written for people who run crews.

No gated PDFs, no email wall, no eleven-hundred-word introduction before the point. If a page here is not useful to somebody who owns a bucket truck, it should not exist.

01

How to price a tree removal

The seven variables in the order they matter, why proximity outranks almost everything, two worked jobs on the same tree, and the four mistakes that quietly eat the margin.

02

Why your tree service leads are bad

What shared-lead marketplaces do to close rates, the agency-website trap and the five questions to ask before signing one, and the boring owned-demand set that almost nobody does completely.

03

Tree service software, compared honestly

What Jobber, Arborgold, SingleOps and ServiceTitan are each genuinely for, the three complaints that recur across all of them in public reviews, and where we tell you not to replace what you have.

04

How to win commercial and HOA work

Four buyers who want different things, the packet to have assembled before the deadline arrives, and why selling an inventory beats selling a removal.

05

What a tree service website actually needs

The storm caller and the quote comparer want opposite things from the same page. Six common mistakes, including the phone number that needs JavaScript to appear.

More as it gets written. What lands here is whatever we had to work out properly in order to build the product, which is a better filter than a content calendar.

Why publish this at all

Because the alternative is another page about synergy.

Everything written for this trade is either aimed at homeowners or written by somebody selling marketing services who has never met an arborist. The vocabulary gives it away in the first paragraph.

We are building a product that has to know this material anyway. Writing it down properly is how it gets into the software, so publishing it costs us almost nothing and is worth something to somebody pricing a job tonight.
