Dropping the tree is the easy part. Remembering the stump that got added at the end of the day, writing up the invoice a week later and then waiting on a check is what drains a tree company. TreeBossPro builds invoices straight from completed jobs, keeps cards on file, takes deposits on big removals, bills PHC programs automatically and follows up on anything unpaid — so the money comes in while the chipper is still warm.
Generic invoicing apps were made for businesses that sell the same thing at the same price. A tree job changes the moment the climber sees the lean, the decay or the service drop. TreeBossPro is built around that reality: the job carries the client, the property and the trees, and the invoice comes from the job.
When the foreman closes out the job on the crew app, the office invoices it from the same record — customer, property and service already attached. No re-typing from a notebook.
Keep a card on file and the invoice is charged automatically when the job is done. Perfect for PHC customers, pruning cycles and owners who are never home on work day.
Take a prepayment when a big removal is approved, then apply it to the final invoice so the customer only sees the balance due.
Schedule plant health care programs and pruning cycles as recurring jobs. Pair them with card on file and each completed visit bills itself.
Storm & Emergency jobs stay in their own category with crew photos and notes, so every emergency call gets invoiced while the customer still remembers it.
Automated payment reminders by text and email, each with a link the customer can pay from. The office stops spending Fridays on the phone.
The foreman closes out the removal on the crew mobile app with photos and notes. The office sees it as complete, adds the stump grinding the customer asked for on site, and sends it — or the card on file is charged automatically. The job and the money are one connected record instead of a work order and a spreadsheet. For the full walkthrough, read Tree Service Billing Software: The Complete Guide for Removal, Trimming and PHC Companies.
Most billing software is built for accountants. TreeBossPro is built for the person answering the phone between storm calls. Import your customers, set up your job categories and start invoicing completed work.
Removals, Trimming & Pruning, Stump Grinding, Plant Health Care, Storm & Emergency and Consults. Every job lands in the right category, so invoices and reports line up with the work you actually do.
Foremen mark the job complete on the crew mobile app with photos and notes. They never handle billing or argue price at the tailgate — the close-out is what the office invoices from.
Estimates, invoices, payments and reports live next to your job board and route map. No jumping between a quote app, a calendar and a separate card terminal.
Payment reminders and estimate follow-ups go out automatically by text and email. You stop being the person who has to call a customer about last month’s removal.
A tree invoice is never just "one service, one price." The customer called it a medium tree. It was 34 inches DBH and leaning over the garage. The neighbor asked for their side cut back. The stump got added at four o'clock.
On paper, every one of those details has to survive the trip from the yard to the truck seat to the office. Some don't. The stump grinding done a week later never gets billed, the extra tree the foreman agreed to on site is forgotten, the deposit isn't credited on the final invoice, and the storm call from three weeks ago is still sitting in someone's text messages.
TreeBossPro keeps it all on one record. The property holds the number of trees, trunk diameter (DBH), tree height and access notes. The job holds what the crew actually did, with photos. The invoice is built from both, with every charge on its own line.
Billing is one part of the platform. To see how it connects with estimates, the job board, recurring jobs, the crew app and the customer app, take a look at the full TreeBossPro overview.
Every billing tool in TreeBossPro connects to the client, the property and the job — so what the crew did is what the customer is billed for.
Invoice a job as soon as the crew closes it out. Customer, property and service are already attached, so nothing gets re-typed and nothing gets missed.
Removal, rigging, haul-away, stump grinding, pruning and PHC treatments each on their own line, with sales tax applied where it belongs.
Keep a customer's card on file and auto-bill invoices when jobs are completed. Ideal for PHC programs, pruning cycles and absentee owners.
Customers see their visits and invoices in the customer app and pay online from their phone. No envelope, no stamp, no reading a card number to the office.
Collect a deposit when a big removal is approved or a prepaid PHC season up front, and apply it to the final invoice.
Set up plant health care programs and pruning cycles as recurring jobs. Each completed visit is ready to bill, or bills itself with card on file.
Keep storm calls in their own job category with crew photos and notes, so emergency work gets invoiced fast and nothing slips through.
Automated payment reminders by text and email keep invoices from sliding into 60-day territory, with a pay-online link in every message.
Send itemized estimates customers approve online, with automatic follow-up. Approved work goes on the job board and bills exactly as quoted.
Multiple properties under one client, each with its own records and service history, so every invoice names the exact site where the work was done.
Application records sit next to the PHC visit you are billing for, so customer questions about a treatment get answered in seconds.
See what you invoiced, what you collected and what is still outstanding, by job category, and spot problems before they reach collections.
Number of trees, DBH, height, access notes, gate codes and drop zones on every property, so estimates are accurate and invoices match.
Crews complete jobs on site with photos and notes. The close-out is the billing document, and the photos back up every invoice.
Bring your customer list in from a spreadsheet and start invoicing real jobs during your free trial.
Every climber, groundie and office person can have a login. Plans are a flat monthly price, never billed per user.
Big removals are where the most money is at stake. TreeBossPro sends an itemized estimate the customer approves online, follows up automatically when it sits, takes a prepayment to hold the date and applies it to the final invoice once the job is complete. The customer sees the full job, the deposit received and the balance due — nothing to argue about.
Cash flow is what squeezes tree companies — fuel, saw chain, disposal, equipment payments and payroll don't wait for checks in the mail. TreeBossPro collects several ways: cards on file charged when the job is done, online invoices customers pay from their phone or the customer app, deposits on big removals and automated follow-ups for everything else. HOAs and property managers get invoices that name the exact property.

Yes. When the crew closes out a job on the crew mobile app, the office invoices it from the same record, with the customer, property and service already attached, plus the crew’s photos and notes.
As line items. Stump grinding can go on the removal invoice, or run as its own job in the Stump Grinding category and be invoiced when it is done. Work the foreman adds on site goes into the job notes so the office can add it to the invoice. Sales tax can be applied to the lines that need it.
Yes. Customers can keep a card on file, and invoices can be auto-billed when the job is completed. Customers without a card on file can pay their invoice online or from the customer app.
Yes. TreeBossPro supports prepayments, so you can collect a deposit when a large removal is approved, or a prepaid PHC season up front, and apply it to the final invoice.
Set them up as recurring jobs. Each completed visit is ready to bill, and with a card on file it can be auto-billed. Chemical tracking keeps PHC application records next to the visits you bill for.
Yes. One client can have multiple properties, each with its own records and service history, so every job and invoice is tied to the exact property where the work was done.
