Tree Bid Pro FAQs
Tree Bid Pro FAQs
Tree Bid Pro uses advanced machine learning trained on real-world tree service jobs. The AI analyzes multiple factors at once—such as tree size (height, trunk diameter, crown spread), species, proximity to houses and obstacles, equipment needs, and regional pricing patterns—to calculate a recommended bid.
Instead of using flat “rules of thumb,” the system looks at how these variables interact in the real world and translates that into estimated labor time, equipment time, and overall job difficulty. Over time, as more data flows through the system, the underlying model continues to improve.
When the job details entered are complete and accurate, Tree Bid Pro’s estimates typically fall within a high accuracy range compared to actual job quotes. The system was built by combining decades of tree service experience with modern AI techniques, and it’s been tested against real completed jobs.
Like any estimating tool, it depends on good inputs—the more consistently you enter detailed, accurate information, the more consistent and reliable your estimates will be. As you use it over time, it becomes an even better reflection of how your own company works.
Tree Bid Pro is built to handle most common tree service work, including removals, pruning, trimming, stump grinding, storm damage cleanup, and similar services. It also supports jobs with added complexity, such as limited access, close proximity to structures, or work near utilities.
For very unusual or highly specialized projects (such as historic tree preservation or extremely complex rigging scenarios), Tree Bid Pro will usually still give you a solid starting point. You can then apply your professional judgment to adjust the final number.
Traditional estimating often relies on experience, mental math, and gut feel. That can work, but it can also lead to inconsistent pricing, overbidding, or leaving money on the table. Tree Bid Pro adds a consistent, data-driven layer to your expertise.
It helps you:
- Be more consistent between different estimators
- Save time creating estimates
- See and price risk and difficulty more clearly
- Back up your bids with a clear, repeatable process
It doesn’t replace your experience; it supports it and makes it easier to train new estimators.
To get started, you simply sign up on the Tree Bid Pro website and create an account. From there, you can follow a short guided setup to create your first estimate. Most users can go from sign-up to creating real estimates in less than 15–30 minutes.
The more detail you provide, the better the AI can do its job. Helpful details include:
- Tree species (if known)
- Height and diameter (or a reasonable estimate)
- Location of the tree on the property
- Drive time to job location
- Ease or difficulty of access for equipment and crew
- What exactly is being requested (removal, pruning, stump, etc.)
Tree Bid Pro will guide you with prompts and structured fields so you don’t have to remember everything on your own.
Most people find the basics very easy to pick up, especially if they already understand tree work and estimating. The interface is designed to walk you through the information it needs step by step.
After a handful of jobs, most users feel confident and start to trust the system as part of their daily estimating routine.
That’s one of its biggest strengths. Because the app walks users through the job details and applies a consistent logic to pricing, it becomes a powerful training tool. New estimators can lean on Tree Bid Pro while they’re building their own experience and eye for risk and difficulty.
Over time, they’ll start to see how different tree sizes, locations, and obstacles impact pricing—and they’ll learn that through a structured, repeatable process instead of trial and error.
Yes, Tree Bid Pro offers a free trial so you can test the software before committing to a paid plan. During the trial, you can create real estimates, explore the features, and see how it fits into your existing workflow.
Your data from the trial carries over if you decide to subscribe, so you don’t have to start over.
How quickly can Tree Bid Pro pay for itself?
For many companies, Tree Bid Pro pays for itself very quickly through:
- Preventing underbids that lose money
- Helping you confidently price higher when appropriate
- Saving hours each week that used to be spent on manual estimating and corrections
Tree Bid Pro provides support through multiple channels, such as email, in-app help, and a knowledge base with “how-to” articles and guides. Depending on your plan, you may also have access to live chat or scheduled support calls.
We’re familiar with both the software side and the tree service side, so when you describe a job or issue, we understand the context as well as the technical part.
Tree Bid Pro is designed to be used in the field, so we expect that many estimates are created on-site. If you run into trouble, you can usually:
- Save your in-progress estimate
- Retry when your connection is better
- Look up quick answers in the mobile-friendly help content
In many cases, you can at least collect the job details and finalize the pricing once you’re back in better coverage.
The software is regularly updated behind the scenes. This includes bug fixes, performance improvements, new features, and improvements to the AI model itself.
Because Tree Bid Pro is a web app, you don’t have to install anything—updates are applied automatically.
Yes. User feedback is a big part of how Tree Bid Pro evolves. If there’s a feature, workflow tweak, or report you’d find valuable, you can share that with us.
We look for patterns in what users are asking for and prioritize updates that will help the most people. In some cases—especially for larger companies—we may also discuss more customized solutions or integrations.
Right now, Tree Bid Pro is a web-based application that works on phones, tablets, and computers through a browser. You can already use it on-site on your smartphone by logging in through your browser.
We plan to bring Tree Bid Pro to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store so you can install it like a regular app. Until then, the web version is fully usable from your mobile device.
Tree Bid Pro is built with a responsive design, which means the layout automatically adjusts to smaller screens. The forms, buttons, and text are sized to be usable on mobile, so you can walk a property, enter details, and create an estimate using your phone or tablet.
Most users find that they can comfortably perform all estimating tasks on a tablet and most tasks on a modern smartphone.
Tree Bid Pro stores your data in secure, professionally managed cloud infrastructure. Access to your account is protected by your login credentials, and connections to the site are encrypted (HTTPS) to protect data in transit.
We treat your estimates, customer data, and business information as confidential. Only you (and people you authorize within your account) can access it.
Your data is not sold to third parties. It may be used in an aggregated and anonymized way to help improve the AI model—for example, learning general patterns like “jobs with X characteristics take Y hours”—but not in a way that identifies your customers or your business.
Any use of data is governed by our privacy policy, which explains clearly what we do and don’t do with your information.
If you cancel, your account will typically be deactivated after your current billing period. We retain your data for a period of time in case you decide to come back.
If you need to export your data (such as customer lists or job history), you can usually do so before cancelling, and we can provide guidance if you need help with that process.
Tree Bid Pro is developed with standard data protection practices in mind, such as secure storage, encrypted transmission, and access controls. We aim to follow applicable laws and best practices for handling business and customer information.
If you have specific compliance questions (for example, about operating across borders or handling special categories of data), we can provide more details based on your situation.
