Show the entrance
Take a photo from the road and another through the gate. Include a width measurement if you have one, plus information about turns, bridges, culverts or soft ground on the route in.
Show typical growth
Send a wide view and a closer view that gives a sense of trunk size and density. Show the thick areas as well as the easy ones. Include any wire, dumped debris, rocks or stumps you know about.
Describe the work area
A city or nearby crossroads is enough to start an estimate. State the acres to treat, or the length and width for a fence line or trail. Total tract acreage and work acreage should be separate.
Tell us the finish
Explain what the ground will be used for and what you want kept. For commercial work, include current plans, limits, specifications and schedule. Photos support an estimate review; they do not replace every site check.
