Tree service online estimates and scheduling that ask about power lines first.
Tree service online estimates and scheduling start with a chat that asks about power lines before anything else, then what the tree is doing. Photo intake and days offered by area are not live today; we can build both, and nothing is set until a person says yes.
In short. Tree service online estimates start with the chat asking about power lines, then what the tree is doing, what is near it and whether a truck can reach it. A person on your team replies by email or call. We can set it up to offer days by area. Photo intake is not live.

Days offered by area, confirmed by a person.
A tree crew works one part of town at a time, so planned work can follow the map. We can set up the days you work in each area, and the chat offers only those, after the power-line question. The calendar below is an example layout.

Five pieces of an online estimate, and which are live.
Each card says what it is and whether it exists today. Where the tag says we can build it, it is not live, and nothing here should be read as saying it works now.
Live today
Power lines come first
Before anything else, the chat asks whether any part of the tree is on or near a power line. A yes ends the conversation with a message to stay back and call the utility. It does not go on to ask about a visit.
Live today
Then what the tree is doing
If there is no line, it asks what the tree is doing, what is near it, such as a house, a fence or a pool, and whether a truck can reach it. Then it hands the request and the whole conversation to a person.
We can build it
She sends photos of the whole tree
We can add photos to the chat: the whole tree from the ground, the trunk, the part near the house. It would tell her what to photograph, and never to climb, stand under a limb or go near a wire. Not live today.
You decide
You review at your desk and write the estimate
You look at the request at your desk, decide what you can tell and what you cannot, and write the estimate yourself. The chat never gives a figure. Where a tree needs a person to look up into it, you arrange a visit.
We can set it up
Days offered by area, confirmed by a person
We can set the chat to offer the days you work in her area, such as Tuesday or Thursday. It only offers. A person on your team reads the request and says yes, or suggests another day that suits the crew.
Questions homeowners and tree crews type, answered plainly.
Can a tree service give an online estimate?
Partly. Today the chat asks about power lines, then what the tree is doing, what is near it and whether a truck can reach it, and emails you the request. You write the estimate yourself, after you have seen enough. The chat names no figure and judges no tree. Photo intake is not live. We can build it.
How do customers schedule a tree service online?
She tells the chat about the tree and asks for a day. Today you get the request and confirm by email or call. We can set the chat to offer the days you work in her area. It only offers. A person says yes. A tree on a house or a wire is a phone call.
Can a tree service's website show which days it works in my area?
It can. We would draw a small calendar of the days you work in each area and let the chat offer those days. It is not live on every site, so we set it up with you. You choose the areas and days, and change them when the crew changes.
A homeowner, a phone, and an arborist at his desk.
This is the order it happens in. Photos and offered days are not live, so read those steps as what happens once they are set up.
- Step
The limb hangs over her roof
She opens your site and the chat asks about power lines first. If a line is involved, it tells her to stay back and call the utility, and stops there. That much is how the chat works today.
- Step
She describes the tree
With no line near, the chat asks what the tree is doing, what is near it and whether a truck can reach it. She answers in her own words. This part is live today.
- Step
Photos, once they are built
Once photo intake is built, the chat would ask for the whole tree from the ground and the part near the house, from her phone. They would arrive with her words. Today the request arrives without photos.
- Step
You reply with a day and time
You write the estimate and reply with a day and time that suit your crew, or tell her honestly that the tree needs a visit first. The chat never names a price, and nothing reaches her unless a person sends it.
What is live today, and what is not.
Read this part first. It says plainly what a tree company gets today and what is still only something we can build.
Live today: the power-line question and the request
The chat asks about power lines first, then what the tree is doing, what is near it and whether a truck can reach it. The request is emailed to you with the conversation. You confirm by email or call. It answers day and night.
Not live: photo intake
A homeowner cannot send a photo of her tree through the chat today. We will tell you when photo intake is built and has been tried from a phone end to end, and not before. We name no date for it.
A photo is not an inspection
A photo from the ground cannot show rot inside a trunk, a cracked root or how a limb is loaded. Some trees need a person to look up into them, and you decide which. The chat never states a diagnosis.
No price, and no emergencies by chat
Every estimate is written and sent by a person. The chat names no cost and no arrival time. A tree on a house with someone inside, or on a wire, is a call to emergency services or the utility, not a chat.

Your trade: Tree service
Straight answers.
Can a tree service give an estimate from photos?
Sometimes a first look is possible, and sometimes it is not. A clear photo from the ground can show a dead crown, a lean or a limb over a roof. It cannot show rot inside the trunk. That is why you would decide: review the photos, write the estimate yourself, or say a visit is needed first.
Can customers send photos of a tree to my website today?
Not yet. Photo intake for tree service is not live. Today the chat asks about power lines first, then what the tree is doing, what is near it and whether a truck can reach it, and emails you the request. Photos are something we can build, and we will tell you when it works end to end, not before.
What photos should a homeowner take of a tree?
From the ground, far enough back to see the whole tree, then one of the part near the house or the fence. If she can see it, one of any cracked or hanging limb. She should never climb, stand under a hanging limb or go near a wire for a better picture.
What does the website chat do for a tree service today?
It answers day and night. It asks about power lines first, and a yes stops the chat with a message to stay back and call the utility. Otherwise it asks what the tree is doing, what is near it and whether a truck can reach it, then emails you the request. It names no price.
Would I still visit every tree?
Many trees, yes. A photo estimate is meant to save the drive-out when all you need is a first look, not to replace a visit when the tree calls for one. If the pictures are not enough, you ask to come out. You choose, tree by tree, and the homeowner is never told a visit is unnecessary.
What would it take to set this up for my company?
We would add photo prompts to your chat, set the request to reach you with the pictures, and test it from a real phone before it goes live. You would read and approve the wording first. Ask us and we will say where it stands. Until then, the chat asks about power lines and takes the request.
