Winning the estimate request in Oakland
A pruning or removal job is rarely urgent, which gives the buyer time to check three or four companies. Your site should make you the safe choice: how you work near houses and lines, what you clean up and what affects the price.

Getting the details before you drive out
Before you visit, the form gathers:
- The tree: species if known, rough height and what they want done (trim, remove, grind the stump).
- Nearby hazards: so you know whether rigging or a lift is needed.
- Access: how far the tree is from the street and what is in the way.
- Photo upload: a full view of the tree and one of the base, taken from the ground.
- What stays, what goes: chips, logs and stump grindings: take or leave.
- Protected trees: some removals need city approval; the page says you check before cutting, without quoting rules you have not confirmed.
