Tree service FAQ
How TreeService.co works, what to expect, and how to choose a tree service.
Questions and answers
Is TreeService.co a tree company?
No. TreeService.co is a nationwide marketplace for tree work. Homeowners and property managers post a job request; independent tree service operators join the network to receive those requests. We don't do tree work ourselves and we don't claim crews or offices in any city.
Does it cost anything to request a quote?
No. Requesting quotes is free for homeowners and property managers, and you're never obligated to hire anyone. Operators in the network are the ones who pay to receive job requests.
What areas do you cover?
You can submit a request from anywhere in the US. The operator network is new and still being built, so coverage varies by ZIP code. If no operator covers your area yet, we'll say so, try to connect you anyway, and let you know when one joins.
What happens after I submit a request?
If an operator in our network covers your ZIP, your request goes to them and they contact you to quote. If not, we keep your request, try to find someone who can quote it, and tell you honestly if we can't.
What should I include in my request?
The type of work, the approximate size of the tree(s), what's nearby (house, fence, power lines), access for equipment, and your timing. Photos help operators quote accurately.
How do I choose a tree service?
Ask for proof of insurance, look for ISA Certified Arborists for pruning and tree-health work, get the scope in writing (including cleanup and stump work), and be cautious of anyone requiring large cash deposits.
What if it's an emergency?
If anyone is hurt, there's a fire, or a gas leak, call 911. If power lines are involved, contact your utility. Then submit a request and mark your timing as urgent.
I run a tree service. How do I get jobs from TreeService.co?
Tell us about your company and service area on the For operators page. We'll follow up about how the network works and what it costs before you receive any job requests.
Will my information be sold?
We use your information to handle your request and share it with the operator(s) we route it to. See our Privacy Policy for details.
How quickly will I hear back?
It depends on your area and on demand. We don't promise response times, and after major storms waits can be longer. If your request is urgent, say so in the form.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Yes. You can request quotes for commercial, HOA, and multi-property work. Select Commercial as the property type and describe the scope.
Do you verify operators?
When an operator joins, we'll show only what we have actually checked, such as a license or insurance certificate and the date we checked it. Always confirm insurance and any required license yourself before hiring.
Who checks permits?
Rules vary by city, county, and HOA. You're responsible for your property, but a good operator should ask about permits and help you understand what's needed.
