Tree Service Quote Template
Tree by tree, rigging plan, equipment access, wood and stump. Free PDF, no sign-up.
Tree work prices from a site visit: the arborist has stood under the tree, judged the lean, looked at what is beneath it and decided how it comes down. That is a real inspection, so the number binds. The variable is access — a crane where a bucket was planned, a neighbour who will not give up their lawn as a drop zone — and it is the one thing worth writing into the terms rather than discovering with a crew already on site.

What this quote commits you to
- How long it stands
- 30 days from the site visit; a tree that has since been storm-damaged is looked at again before this price stands.
- What it does not cover
- Lawn and root repair, cabling or bracing of a retained tree, permits for a protected species, and hauling wood you have asked us to leave.
- What would change the price
- A rigging plan the site forces on us — a crane where a bucket was scoped, or a drop zone a neighbour withdraws.
- How the client accepts it
- Accept by signature and confirm access for the equipment listed; the crew and kit on this quote are what gets dispatched.

How to quote a tree service job
What to put on a tree service quote
- Each tree identified by species, size and location on the property
- The work per tree: removal, crown reduction, deadwooding, or clearance pruning
- The rigging and equipment planned — bucket truck, crane, or climbed and roped
- Access route for the equipment and where the drop zone is
- What happens to the wood: chipped, stacked, or hauled away
- Stump grinding, its depth, and whether the grindings are removed
- Certificate of insurance, and that it will be provided before work starts
Questions
Why is a tree quote so dependent on access?
Because the same tree is two different jobs. Dropped whole into an open field it is an hour; dismantled over a conservatory with a rope and a groundie it is a day. The quote should say which one was priced and what would change it.
Should stump grinding be included?
List it separately with the depth. Clients often decline it, and a bundled price makes the removal look expensive while hiding a service they may not want — and grindings left in a heap are their own conversation.
What insurance should a tree quote reference?
General liability and workers' compensation, with a certificate offered before work begins. A tree crew works over a client's roof, and the client who does not ask is the one who most needs the document to raise it.
About the free quote generator
Is this quote generator really free?
Yes. There is no fee, no trial period and no watermark on the PDF. Nothing on this page requires a credit card.
What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?
A quote is a fixed price you are offering to hold, and it is binding on you once the client accepts it. An estimate is your best projection of the cost and can move if the job does. If the scope is not settled yet, send an estimate instead.
Is a quote legally binding?
Once a client accepts it within the period it stands, a quote generally forms a contract at that price — the details depend on your jurisdiction and on what the document itself says. That is why the price, the scope and the exclusions all belong in writing, and why the document prints the date the offer expires.
How long should a quote be valid until?
Thirty days is the common default, and two weeks is sensible when materials prices are moving. Whatever you choose, state it on the quote: an offer with no expiry is an offer you have made for ever.
Can I raise the price after the client accepts?
Not unilaterally, which is the point of quoting rather than estimating. What you can do is price the variations the client asks for afterwards, provided the quote said what was and was not included.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Fill in the form and download the PDF directly — there is no sign-up and no login for this tool.
Can the client accept the quote online?
Not from a downloaded PDF. Saving the quote to an account gives it a link the client opens and answers on, and the acceptance is recorded against the document rather than living in an email thread.
Can I use this for any currency or country?
Yes. Choose any currency and country for either party — the totals and formatting follow your selection.
