Free tree service and tree removal estimate template

Tree service estimates, part by part

When a homeowner calls about a tree, they often have no idea what the job involves. Is the stump included? Will you haul the wood away? What about the fence underneath? A clear estimate answers those questions before they become arguments, and it shows you have planned the job safely.

Start with your business name, contact details, and a license or insurance line if you carry one or your state requires it. The FTC tells homeowners to look for a contractor's license number and says a written estimate should describe the work, the materials, the completion date and the price. Then the customer's name, property address, date and estimate number.

Describe each tree so there's no doubt which one you mean: "Silver maple, about 60 ft, back left corner, over the garage." Then the work for that tree: full removal, trimming, crown thinning or deadwooding. If access is tight or you need a crane or bucket truck, say so on the line.

Price stump grinding separately, and say how deep you'll grind. Then cleanup: haul everything away, or cut the wood to length and leave it on site. Customers have strong views on this, so write it down.

Tree work suits options: trimming against removal, or removal with and without stump grinding, each priced in full, with your recommendation marked.

Below the lines: sales tax where it applies, the total, any deposit, a valid-until date and what is not included, such as repairing lawn ruts or replanting. End with a signature block.
