Question 1

What is the best software for a tree service company?

Accepted Answer

Mastiff covers the tree service job lifecycle: estimates, a drag-and-drop board, crew scheduling, equipment tracking, before/after showcases, Stripe invoicing, and customer tracking. Mastiff Free includes directory leads, one active job, and one active quote; Solo unlocks the whole toolset at $99/month, and Crew is $199/month with unlimited seats and expanded tools.

Question 2

Does Mastiff handle land clearing work alongside tree removals?

Accepted Answer

That's the point. If your outfit does removals and trimming plus lot clearing, brush mulching, or stump grinding, each job carries its own service type and pipeline on the same board — a crane removal and a five-acre mulching job don't have to share a process. Clearing scopes get acre-and-density quoting (light, medium, heavy vegetation classes with your own per-acre rates); tree work gets line-item estimates. One system, one customer record, one invoice trail.

Question 3

How do tree service companies get more land clearing leads?

Accepted Answer

The landowners searching for clearing help search by the job — 'land clearing near me', 'lot clearing', 'stump grinding' — and the Mastiff directory is organized around exactly those services. Claim your listing, show your before/after portfolio, and quote requests route straight to your Mastiff inbox with speed-to-lead alerts, because the first company to answer wins the job. Before/after content is the proven ad format for this work, and Showcase Studio turns your job photos into that content automatically.

Question 4

What does tree service software cost?

Accepted Answer

Tree service software typically runs $50–$300+ per month, with arborist suites priced per user or by quote. Mastiff Free is $0 forever with directory leads, one active job, and one active quote. Solo is $99/month and Crew is $199/month. Choose a paid plan to start an optional 7-day trial with a card attached; paid membership starts afterward unless canceled, returning the workspace to Free.

Question 5

Is Mastiff better than Arborgold or SingleOps?

Accepted Answer

They serve different companies. Arborgold and SingleOps are mature suites built for larger tree-care operations — plant health care programs, route optimization, multi-crew dispatch — priced per user or by sales quote. Mastiff is built for the owner-operated outfit whose mix includes land clearing: acre-and-density quoting for clearing scopes, equipment and consumables tracking, a before/after showcase engine, and — uniquely — a consumer directory that sends you clearing leads. If you're running twelve climbing crews and a PHC program, look at the arborist suites. If you're a company that clears land and wants the quoting, the job board, and a lead source in one flat-priced login, that's Mastiff.

Question 6

How do before/after showcases win tree and clearing work?

Accepted Answer

Nothing sells a clearing job like a thicket turned into a park — before/after content is the highest-performing ad format in this trade, and it's how the busiest outfits keep their Facebook pages booking work. Mastiff's Showcase Studio pairs the photos your crew already takes into sliders and side-by-sides, branded and sized for social, and publishes them to your directory listing and website gallery automatically. Every finished job becomes marketing without anyone sitting down at a computer on Sunday night.
