KADEPAY FOR TREE SERVICES & ARBORISTS
An oak over the garage, a stump-grinding add-on and a limb through a neighbor's fence after last night's wind. KadePay lets tree crews collect a deposit before the crane is booked, get site waivers signed on the homeowner's phone, and take payment in the yard while the chipper cools down.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Tree work carries real cost before the first cut: crane time, a crew of four, disposal and fuel. These are the payment problems tree service owners describe most, and how KadePay handles them.
A crane removal can run $1,200 a day in rental before your crew even shows up, and a cancellation leaves you holding that bill.
With KadePay
Send a tree removal deposit with a fixed-amount link when the homeowner approves the job. Book the crane after the deposit shows paid, and credit it on the final bill.
Payment links and QR codesThe bucket truck left tracks in the grass, a log dinged the driveway, and now the homeowner wants a discount before paying.
With KadePay
Have the homeowner sign a tree service waiver covering lawn, driveway and access before you set up. The signed form stays with their profile in case questions come up later.
Forms and signaturesAfter a windstorm you are cutting trees off roofs until dark, and the paperwork for twenty urgent jobs piles up on the dashboard.
With KadePay
Take emergency tree removal payment on site with Tap to Pay on a compatible phone, or text the bill with photos of the damage before you leave the property.
Tap to Pay and card readersThe removal was paid, the stump grinding came two weeks later with a different crew, and nobody sent a bill for it.
With KadePay
Create a separate stump grinding invoice from the customer profile the day the grinder leaves, with a photo of the finished grade attached and reminders turned on.
Ways to get paidThree dead ash trees near the house are a safety problem, but $6,500 is more than most families can pay in one go.
With KadePay
Agree on a payment plan with a set number of installments from a saved method, or let the homeowner apply for Affirm where eligible. ACH bank transfer keeps costs lower on one large payment.
Payment plansHow it fits your week
The homeowner requests an assessment time from your booking link, and the appointment keeps its own address. You confirm when you can walk the property.
Attach your written estimate PDF to a deposit bill, collect the deposit, and send your site waiver to sign on the homeowner's phone.
Photograph the canopy before the climb and the cleared yard after. Notes record the septic location, line clearance and where the crane set up.
Tap a card on a compatible phone, show your trailer QR, or text the final bill with photos and reminders before the chipper is hitched.
Offer a tree care plan for yearly pruning or plant health visits, billed as recurring payments on Team or Pro.
Every way your customers pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.

Each tool writes to the same customer record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for tree services
Tree work is billed in a few large chunks with real costs up front. A tree service invoice app has to collect a deposit before the crane rental, send a clear bill for the removal, and catch the stump grinding and haul-away that follow a week later. KadePay keeps each of those as a bill on one customer record with photos attached.
Storm damage tree removal is where paperwork falls apart. You are on a roof with a saw, not at a desk. Tap to Pay on a compatible phone collects payment in the yard, a texted bill covers the homeowner who is away, and each appointment record keeps the address straight across a dozen jobs in one day.
Signed paperwork matters in this trade. A tree service waiver covering lawn ruts, driveway marks and debris left on site, signed on the homeowner's phone before you set up, heads off the end-of-job discount argument. Crane removal deposits, agreed installments for big takedowns and recurring billing on Team or Pro round out the money side.
KadePay does not price trees or plan your crew's day. It handles payments, forms and customer records, and your bookkeeper gets a transaction download at the end of the month.
CLEAR ANSWERS
One that collects deposits, gets waivers signed and takes payment in the yard. KadePay does all three, plus bills with photos by text or email, ACH for large removals and recurring billing for a tree care plan on Team or Pro.
Many tree companies do, because crane time and permits are paid whether the job happens or not. Send a fixed-amount deposit link at approval, book the crane after it shows paid, and credit it on the final bill.
Most cover access across the lawn, possible ruts or driveway marks, debris left on site and who handles stump grinding. Build your own form in KadePay, have the homeowner sign it on their phone, and check the wording with your insurance agent or attorney.
Create a second bill for the stump work from the same customer profile, attach a photo of the ground-down stump, and send it by text or email. Reminders can follow if it is not paid, and both bills stay on one record.
Yes. Agree on installments collected from an eligible saved method with a payment plan, or let the homeowner apply for Affirm pay-over-time at checkout where eligible. Affirm reviews the application and sets the terms.
A tree crew can start on Pay-As-You-Go at $0 per month; payment and usage fees apply. Team at $10 per month adds team members and recurring billing for yearly pruning plans, and Pro is $35 per month. See the pricing page for the full list.
