For tree surgeons and arborists
Every felling, crown and stump, quoted and paid.
In England, felling more than 5 cubic metres of timber in a calendar quarter needs a Forestry Commission licence. Trees in a garden need none.

Tick tree surgery and all of this is ready.
Built around the work.
Felling quotes, the stump as an extra.
Stump grinding and taking the logs away can each be an Optional extra on a felling quote. Your customer picks the grinding, the logs or both, then accepts by typing their name and paying any deposit by card.
Your RAMS, acknowledged before the felling.
Add a RAMS files the method statement once for every felling job. The acknowledgement takes the day’s hazards and controls with a signature, and can hold the felling until it is signed or waived.
The power line and the trees, on file.
Each site keeps its Hazards, such as a power line over the garden, and every job there shows them. Photos of the trees filed with Add photos on the site stay with the address after the job is done.
The green waste receipt, on the job.
A green waste receipt, with its photo, goes on the visit under Mileage and receipts. It counts in the job’s cost and never reaches the customer’s invoice.
20% on tree work, 5% on firewood.
Tree surgery is standard rated at 20%. Logs held out for sale as firewood are 5% if the buyer will not resell them. On a householder’s invoice, a VAT-registered firm can bill the logs on a Separate, reduced rate line.
Questions, answered.
- Does it check for tree preservation orders (TPOs)?
- No. Nothing looks up a council’s orders or its conservation areas. In England, most work on a tree under an order needs the council’s consent. Most work on a conservation area tree with a trunk over 75 millimetres across at 1.5 metres needs six weeks’ notice. Under Your own fields, a Site field can hold the order’s reference.
- Can a climber and a groundsman be booked as one team?
- Yes. Add another person puts the groundsman on the climber’s appointment, each in a lane of their own on the Schedule. Moved to another day or time, the appointment takes both of them with it.
- Can customers send photos of the tree with an enquiry?
- No. The enquiry form on your website takes the work in words, contact details and the address, with no photos. Make a quote on an enquiry starts a quote at that address, with the customer’s own words as its summary.
