The questions your team needs answered
Every tree removal intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How many trees need to be removed? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Approximately how tall is the largest tree that needs removal? | Taller trees generally require larger equipment and more crew, so height directly informs how the job should be quoted and staffed. |
| Is the tree close to a structure, power line, or fence? | A tree near a structure or power line changes the risk, insurance, and technique needed, which is why this answer carries some of the heaviest scoring weight in the catalog. |
| Do you own this property or manage it on behalf of the owner? | Confirming the submitter owns or manages the property filters out inquiries from people who can't actually authorize or pay for the removal. |
| How soon do you need the tree removal completed? | How soon the removal is needed separates hazard-driven jobs from ones that can be scheduled around existing route capacity. |
| Does the tree show visible signs of damage, disease, or being dead? | Separates real opportunities from leads that aren’t a fit yet. |
| Is there clear vehicle access to the tree location for equipment? | Vehicle access tells the crew whether standard equipment will work or whether the job needs manual removal or specialized machinery. |

Built for tree removal workflows
| Cliont capability | Tree Removal application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring | Proximity to a structure or power line and property ownership are both weighted catalog answers, so hazard-adjacent, decision-maker-confirmed leads surface above lower-fit inquiries. |
| Photo capture | Uploaded photos of the tree and its surroundings let your crew assess lean, canopy size, and clearance before deciding what equipment to bring to the estimate. |
| CRM routing | Leads that confirm ownership, height, and proximity details arrive in your CRM with enough context to schedule an estimate without a qualifying phone call first. |
| Access flagging | The vehicle access question (clear, limited, or none) helps route jobs that need cranes or manual removal differently from straightforward drive-up jobs. |
Example tree removal lead scenarios
Illustrative situations explain the intake questions and possible follow-up.
Hazard tree near power lines
A tall tree flagged as close to a structure or power line, with the homeowner confirming ownership and an emergency timeline — this combination pushes the lead to the top of the queue.
Multi-tree clearing job
More than five trees with flexible timing and limited vehicle access reads as a larger, planned job rather than a single urgent removal, letting crews schedule instead of scrambling.
Property manager inquiry
When the person filling out the form doesn't own or manage the property, the intake surfaces that low-fit signal early so the estimate isn't booked against the wrong decision-maker.
Diseased tree, no structure risk
A tree marked as damaged or dead but not near any structure or power line is still worth quoting, just without the same access or safety complexity as a hazard job.
Uncertain homeowner, no measurements
When height, tree count, and access are all answered 'not sure,' the intake still routes the lead but flags it as needing a follow-up call before a firm estimate can be scheduled.

Tree Removal lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle jobs with more than one tree?
The tree count question separates single-tree removals from multi-tree jobs, so crews can tell at a glance whether they're quoting a quick job or a larger clearing project before they call back.
Does the form flag trees near power lines or structures?
Yes. Proximity to a structure, power line, or fence carries meaningful weight in scoring, since those jobs typically require more planning, insurance awareness, or a different crew setup.
What if the person submitting the form doesn't own the property?
The ownership question is weighted lower when the answer is no, which helps flag leads where you may be talking to a tenant or neighbor rather than the person who can authorize the work.
How are 'not sure' answers on height or access treated?
Height and access both include a 'not sure' option that scores as moderate rather than being dropped, so the lead still reaches you but is understood as needing a site visit to confirm details.
Does timing affect how a lead is prioritized?
Yes, the intake asks how soon the removal is needed, ranging from an immediate hazard to flexible timing, so you can see which leads are asking to be scheduled today versus sometime this month.
How is this different from the Emergency Tree Service intake?
Tree Removal covers planned and hazard-driven removals with detail on tree count, height, and access, while Emergency Tree Service is built around active, immediate-response situations.
