Thank you for joining our beta access!
We'll keep you updated on exciting developments and exclusive early access opportunities.
Add a photo estimate form to your tree service website. Homeowners send pictures of the tree, the trunk and what is around it, plus the details that change your price. You decide from your phone whether to quote right away or book a site visit.
Free to join. We will email you when early access opens.
Send a few photos and we will reply with a price or a visit time.
A photo estimate is a quote or price range a tree service gives from pictures and job details the homeowner sends, before anyone drives to the property. Most tree companies use photo estimates for trimming, small and medium removals, stump grinding and cleanup. Large removals over a house, crane jobs and anything near power lines still need an arborist on site, but good photos tell you that before you spend the drive.
Skip site visits for jobs you don't do, jobs outside your service area and jobs too small to be worth the trip.
Homeowners often contact several tree companies at once. Quoting from photos lets you answer the same day.
When a visit is needed, you arrive already knowing the tree, the access and the equipment the job needs.
Photos, address and job details sit in one request, so you can point back to them if the scope is questioned later.
Generic contact forms get you "I need a tree removed" and a phone number. These six photos give you enough to price most jobs or to know a visit is required.
Tip: ask homeowners to take photos in daylight and to step back far enough that the top of the tree and the house are in the same picture.
Photos show the job. These answers fill in what photos can't, so you can price it.
| Question | Why it matters for the price |
|---|---|
| Service needed: removal, trimming, stump grinding or storm cleanup | Sets the crew, the equipment and the time on site. |
| Number of trees | Multi-tree jobs change your pricing and your schedule. |
| Approximate height: under 30 ft, 30 to 60 ft, over 60 ft | Decides between climbing, a bucket truck or a crane. |
| Trunk diameter | Drives cutting time and how much wood you haul. |
| Distance to the house, fence or lines | Affects rigging, risk and insurance. |
| Access for equipment | Tells you if your gear fits through the gate or the work is done by hand. |
| Haul away debris, keep the wood or grind the stump | Each option adds time and dump fees. |
| Urgency: tree down, leaning or blocking a driveway | Sets emergency scheduling and rates. |
| Address, phone and best time to reach them | Lets you confirm the job quickly. |
RapidForms is a form builder you can use as simple tree service estimate software: the form collects the job, you send the price.
We are building instant estimate ranges for tree services. RapidForms will read the photos and answers, suggest a price range based on the rates you set, and you approve it before the homeowner sees anything.
Early access is open to tree service owners and arborists.
If you already run your business in field service software, use its request forms. RapidForms is for owner-operators who want photo estimate requests on their website without moving the whole business to a new platform.

For many jobs, yes. Good photos plus height, trunk size and access details are often enough to give a firm price or a tight range for trimming, small removals and stump grinding. Large trees over structures, crane work and trees near power lines usually need a site visit, and the photos tell you that early.
A wide shot of the whole tree with the house in view, a close-up of the trunk base with something for scale, branches over the roof or driveway, any nearby power lines, and the access path from the street.
Yes. Embed it on WordPress, Webflow, Framer and other site builders, or share the form link anywhere you get leads.
No. RapidForms works on its own: requests arrive by email and in Google Sheets. If you already use field service software, you can still use RapidForms as your website intake form and move accepted jobs over.
You can build and preview the form for free. Hobby is $32 a year for 10 forms and 100 submissions a month. Pro is $15 a month for unlimited forms and submissions, plus custom confirmation emails. See pricing.
Not today. You review each request and send the estimate yourself. Instant estimate ranges are in early access.
