Use references the crew can check

Link each tree reference to the approved site record and the customer's request. Keep ambiguous descriptions visible instead of assigning them to a photograph by assumption. The site assessor should confirm the identity and scope for each tree before the administrative brief is released.

Clarify what stays and what leaves

Compare the agreement for branches, timber, chips, stumps and cleanup. Record the customer's choices and any exclusions. Different items may have different arrangements, so a general 'clear the site' note should not silently add removal or further work.

Prepare access questions for the assessor

Gather the customer's access notes and reported obstacles into a site brief, keeping the source of each observation. The qualified assessor can use it to plan the onsite checks and resolve questions before the crew receives instructions.

No. It can organise photos and observations for a qualified assessor.

Does removal automatically include stump work?

Use the actual agreement. If the scope is unclear, obtain a decision rather than assume it is included.

  • What Should a Tree Removal Quote Include? | Toronto Tree Service

    Tree service: the contractor describes identifying the specific tree by location, labelled photo or site-plan reference, separating optional work, and specifying cleanup, debris and stump arrangements.

    A contractor's quotation guide, not a tree assessment or proof that a removal is necessary; local permissions are outside this research.
