Create Professional Estimates and Proposals in Minutes
The estimate is often the first impression a potential customer has of your tree care company. A handwritten quote scribbled on a business card does not inspire confidence in a homeowner who is about to spend thousands of dollars on tree removal or a plant health care program. Arbor Dash tree service estimate software helps you create polished, professional proposals that communicate value, build trust, and close more work. Every estimate you send reflects the quality of your operation before your crews ever touch a chainsaw.
Building an estimate in Arbor Dash is fast and flexible. Start with pre-built service templates for common tree care services like pruning, removal, stump grinding, cable and bracing, deep root fertilization, or pest treatment, and customize the details for each job. Add line items with quantities, unit prices, and descriptions. Attach site photos and arborist notes to give the customer full context. For larger proposals, you can present multi-option pricing — for example, a basic prune versus a full crown restoration — so the customer can choose the scope that fits their budget. You can also include upsell recommendations for related services like stump grinding after a removal or a follow-up fertilization treatment.
Once your estimate is ready, send it digitally for e-signature approval. Customers receive a branded PDF or a link to an online approval page where they can review the scope of work, accept the estimate, and sign electronically. Arbor Dash tracks the status of every estimate — sent, viewed, accepted, or declined — so your sales team always knows where things stand. When a customer approves, converting the estimate into a scheduled job takes a single click. The job inherits all the line items, notes, photos, and customer information from the estimate, so nothing is lost in the handoff from sales to operations.
