Tree surgeons: quote visits for tree work

Every tree job starts with a visit: the species, the height, what's below, access for the chipper. Visits arranged one by one on the phone scatter you across the map. With Book, clients book a visit on your own booking page on the days you're in their area, and you book the work days from your list once they agree.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Leave the price empty on work days; an empty price is hidden.

Open visit slots at the end of the days you're working in each area, back to back with travel time between. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Each online booking takes one place, and a booked visit leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the address, the number of trees, rough height, what's underneath, such as a roof, a road or power lines, and access width. Ask for photos by email; for simple jobs, they may be enough to price without a visit.

Don't open public slots for work days. After the visit, book each day yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file. If neighbours need warning, say so in the description.

For garden-only visits, the client may not need to be there. Say in the description whether you need access through the house, and arrange gate codes by phone, not in the note.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so tell them yourself. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't write estimates, handle permits, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on planning work around the seasons. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
