Mark each tree and the work intended for it
A tree-service scope should let the owner identify the exact tree and the work approved for it. Pruning, removal, stump work and debris handling are separate decisions. Download this PDF or DOCX sample to organize the site information for an attorney-reviewed agreement, alongside qualified tree-care advice.
This is a sample, not legal advice. Have a qualified attorney in your state review any contract before you use it.
Inside the downloadable sample
- Tree identification and property authority
- Pruning, removal and stump exclusions
- Equipment access and surrounding features
- Debris choices and site finish
- Discoveries, weather and revised work
- Quote acceptance and completion record
The PDF and editable DOCX contain the sample clauses and blank agreement fields. Microtra does not generate contracts.
How to use the template.
- Walk the property and label the exact trees on photographs before filling in the sample.
- Choose debris handling and stump-work boundaries, noting access concerns for the qualified provider.
- Ask a qualified attorney in your state to review authorization, approvals and responsibility provisions.
- Keep the reviewed agreement with the marked tree list and written approval for any changed work.
Useful answers.
Why is a marked photograph useful for tree work?
It gives the owner and crew a concrete reference for the tree and approved task. A location description alone can be ambiguous when several similar trees stand near a boundary.
Does removal automatically include stump grinding?
Specify each operation. Removing the standing tree, processing wood, grinding a stump and restoring the ground can be different services with different site effects.
Can the sample settle a disagreement about a boundary tree?
No. Confirm ownership and authority with qualified advisers before work proceeds. The outline does not decide property rights or grant permission to affect someone else's tree.
Keep exploring.
