Tree Removal Quote Calculator

Give the customer one firm price in writing, worked out from the job: how each tree comes down, what's underneath it, the crew, the chipper, the dump runs and the stump. No ranges and no "up to" limits.

1. The trees

Each row becomes its own line on the quote. Clean-up, stump grinding and permits get their own lines too, so the customer can see what they're paying for.

2. Crew and rates

Production rates (change these to your own logged numbers)

Time scales with wood volume: trunk diameter squared times height. Method and hazards multiply the removal time. The best numbers here are your own from jobs you've timed.

What a quote that wins the job looks like

  1. One firm price, after you've seen the trees. "Up to $1,000" tells the customer it might cost a grand, and then they're surprised either way.
  2. In writing, with the scope: how each tree comes down, what equipment shows up, and how many people. Homeowners pick the quote that shows you've thought it through.
  3. Clean-up as its own line: brush chipped, logs hauled or left cut to length, raked or not. Spell out what stays behind.
  4. The stump: ground below grade, or left. Grindings hauled away, or left as mulch.
  5. Hazards and permits: who calls the utility for lines, who pulls the permit, and what happens if the tree is rotten inside.
  6. Insurance: have your liability certificate ready. The customer is trusting you near their house.
  7. Price the visit, not the hour. Two trees the same size can be completely different jobs once you see what's around them.
