Close-ups of a chainsaw mean nothing. A wide photo showing the tree, the house, and how little space there was between them means everything.

The second fear after damage is being left with a yard full of debris.

End every before and after with a clean-yard photo. No ruts, no sawdust piles, no branches on the fence.

The removal sells the capability. The clean yard sells the company.

Action Plan

  1. Take a wide before shot showing the tree and the nearest structure on the next three jobs.

  5. Post the same photos to your Google Business Profile.
