Tree work priced from the tree and what's around it
A tree quote is really a risk read: the species, the lean, and how close it is to the house or a power line decide the crew, the gear, and the price. The intake flags what's urgent and captures that risk with a photo — without ever promising a crew is standing by, because it isn't.
The questions this niche actually needs
A blank “how can we help?” box gets you a callback and three more questions. Here's what the tree service intake asks up front, so the request arrives ready to act on.
- What's needed — removal, trimming, storm damage, or a hazard leaning toward the house?
- How urgent is it — down or leaning on a structure now, or a planned job?
- How many trees, and roughly how big?
- How close is it to the house, a fence, or power lines?
- A photo of the tree and everything around it.

What the photo does here
A photo of the tree and its surroundings is the whole risk assessment. An arborist reads the species, the lean, the size, and — most of all — how close it is to the house, a fence, or a power line, which is what sets the crew, whether a bucket truck or a crane is needed, and the price. A storm-damaged limb over a roof and a backyard removal with open driveway access are completely different jobs, and the photo settles which one it is before anyone rolls out. What it never does is promise how fast that is.
Request: Tree service — Storm damage (a tree or limb down or leaning)
Flagged urgent — large limb down after tonight's storm.
Count / size: One large tree · Access: Backyard only — may need a crane
Proximity (as given): "A big limb cracked and is hanging over the back corner of the
roof. It hasn't come all the way down but it's resting on the gutter."
Photos: 2 attached (hanging limb over the roof corner, base of the tree)
Location: 75035
Preferred contact: phone
What an arborist would note: a large hung-up limb resting on a roof with backyard-only
access is a rigging job, possibly a crane — worth confirming the drop zone and roof
contact from the photos before quoting. (Not a power-line contact per the notes.)What “structured intake” means here
A tree-service intake is a hosted request form that captures the job, how close the tree is to structures and lines, the access for equipment, and a photo. That's what an arborist uses to judge the risk and quote the work — instead of a callback and a site visit just to size up a job the photo already showed. It flags urgency; it doesn't promise a response time.
Where this is the wrong tool
This takes tree work requests — removal, pruning, storm cleanup, and stump grinding — for one tree company. It doesn't dispatch anyone and it makes no promise about how quickly someone arrives; for a tree on a power line or a building, that's a call to your utility and 911, not a form.
