FOUNDER-BUILT
Built in the field. Ready for your business.
Tree Service Software was built by a working stump grinder at Root Force Stump Grinding. It brings field pricing, estimates, approvals, scheduling, customer messages, and payments into one connected workflow.
Stump grinding is where it started. Small tree-removal and trimming crews can use the same customer, estimate, scheduling, and invoice workflow—with their own services and pricing.
Get direct support when you need it, and help shape the product with feedback from your day-to-day work.
I traded in Jobber for your software. Can confirm - it’s legit and how I am running the customer side of my business 100% now.

What the monthly price covers: TSS charges $39.00/month with no additional TSS platform or usage fees for the features listed. Payment-processor fees still apply when accepting customer payments. Competitor totals include the plans and add-ons shown; taxes, payment processing, and usage charges are additional where applicable.
Comparison scope: These configurations cover the six shared workflow categories above, with different capabilities and usage limits. TSS also includes stump estimating with AI photo assist; that specialist tool is outside the competitor price calculations. Housecall Pro Essentials and MAX include 500 marketing emails/month without the paid Campaigns add-on; the configuration shown adds Campaigns for SMS/email marketing and automated flows. Pipeline is a separate option for lead-stage automation; its price is not included.
Team-size pricing: Jobber uses Grow for two-way texting, plus Marketing Suite: $199 + $99/month for one user, $299 + $99 for 2–5 users, and $399 + $99 for 6–10 users. Housecall Pro uses Basic + Basic Campaigns ($79 + $9/month) for one user, Essentials + Essentials Campaigns ($189 + $19) for 2–5, and MAX + MAX Campaigns ($329 + $49) for 6–10, plus $35/month for each user beyond eight. Campaigns must match the Housecall Pro plan. TSS remains $39/month throughout the 1–10 user range.

Tree Service CRM FAQ
Is this only for stump grinding businesses?
No. Stump grinding is our specialty, but small tree-removal and trimming crews can use their own services and prices with the same estimates, scheduling, messaging, and invoices. The stump estimator is there when you need it; you do not have to use it.
What should I try first?
Start with one customer and a draft estimate. Add your services or try the stump estimator, then review the estimate before sending it. You do not need to import your whole customer list to see how it works. If you get stuck, contact support for help.
Can I create estimates on-site?
Yes. You can build the estimate on your phone while you are still with the customer and send it right away by text or email. If stump work is part of the job, the built-in stump estimator can help there too.
Is there a mobile app?
It runs in your browser and works on iPhone, Android, tablets, and desktops. There is no separate app store download required. You can add it to your phone’s home screen and open it like an app.
Can customers approve estimates by text?
Yes. You send them the estimate, they open the link, and they can approve it without creating an account. It makes the whole thing move a lot faster.
Does it include 2-way SMS?
Yes. You can text customers from inside the CRM and keep the conversation tied to the right customer, estimate, job, or invoice.
Can it take credit card payments?
Yes. You can send invoices with secure payment links and let customers pay by credit card online.
How does pricing work for small crews?
Try it free for 14 days, with no credit card required. After the trial, the plan is $39 per month, billed monthly. No setup fee or long-term contract. Cancel anytime.
Who built this?
Tree Service Software was built by a working stump grinder with more than 25 years of web and software development experience. Its workflow comes from real field work: estimates, scheduling, customer communication, and getting paid.
