Zaras for Tree Service

The February you planned to spend pruning is the February the ice arrives.

Storm removals, scheduled trimming, and a crew that keeps getting pulled off one for the other.

Emergency removalsTrimmingStump grinding

Two winds, six months apart.

The wind that takes trees down in July is not the wind that takes them down in December — summer storms and winter gales run on opposite halves of the year, so the emergency work never really stops, it just changes mechanism. Ice is the sharpest of them and better than half of it comes down in a single month, February, which happens to be the month the dormant pruning was booked for.

What carries call to call: the hazard photo the access note the account you were booked for.

One week in February. Three jobs, one record.

An ice load stacks three removals overnight, a nine-year account gets rebooked instead of forgotten, and a leaning trunk gets photographed before anyone climbs it.

Ice load, three removals

Calls stack overnight. Each one gets access and hazard noted before a crew is sent, so nobody arrives blind.

Wed

Dormant work moved

A nine-year account gets pushed because the crew is on removals — rebooked on the record instead of in someone’s head.

The removal board and the pruning calendar.

Tree work comes from two boards: the work that arrives without asking, and the work that pays when the wind does not blow. Every storm pulls a crew off the pruning calendar, and the pruning calendar is the only thing that pays in a quiet month.

The removal board

Storm calls land without warning. Every one gets logged with access and hazard noted before a crew rolls, so the surge never outruns the record.

The pruning calendar

The window is short and it books out early — the accounts that come back every year are the ones that keep the board paid between storms.

What Zaras runs for tree service.

The record, not the clipboard: every removal and every scheduled trim, on the same book.

Invoicing + QuickBooksthe storm call and the final invoice sit on one job record, so nothing gets rebuilt from scratch at bill time.

Call → assess → drop → clear → paid — every tree job, one record.

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

Plans and prices are public on the pricing page — no sales call to get a number.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Invoices and payments flow straight into QuickBooks — no double entry, no bookkeeper fights.

What happens to my data?

It’s yours, both directions. Customers, hazard assessments, and booked dormant work come in with you when you join — and everything exports, any time.

Can it run commercial work?

Yes — municipal and property-manager tree work with per-site records and NET-terms billing live on the same record as your residential book.

What size shop is this for?

Tree services running 1–40 crews — from an owner-operator to a multi-truck shop.

What does private beta mean?

We onboard a limited number of shops at a time. Request an invite, fit is reviewed within 24 hours with a reply either way, and accepted shops get guided onboarding — pricebook and customer list loaded with you, not dumped on you.
