A structured first look

Bring the question. We’ll help clarify the next step.

Tell CrownQuill what you are seeing, what has been proposed, and what sits around the tree. Add the evidence you have, and we’ll review what a remote perspective can—and cannot—support.

Before you begin

Have a wide photo of the whole tree, close-ups of the concern, and any contractor recommendation nearby.

01 / Contact

Start with the person making the call.
We use these details to follow up with your review and clarify anything we cannot see remotely.

02 / Property

Where is the tree, and what surrounds it?
Location context helps us understand targets, access, and the limits of a remote review.

03 / Decision context

Tell us what you are trying to decide.
Specific observations and proposed work give a remote review something useful to test.

We’ll ask three short questions tailored to this choice.

These answers help us focus the first review without making you complete unrelated questions.

04 / Evidence

Show us what you can see.
Add clear, well-lit views of the whole tree, trunk, canopy, nearby targets, and any specific concern. Photos are limited to 15 MB each and video to 250 MB each.
A useful set of views
These shots help us understand the tree and its setting. Send what you can; no single view is required if it is unavailable or unsafe to capture.
Helpful, not required

  1. Full-tree context view

    Show the tree from ground to crown, along with the house, driveway, fence, or other nearby structures.

  2. A second angle

    Step to the side or opposite corner so we can compare the shape, lean, and surroundings from another direction.

  3. Trunk and root flare

    Include the base of the trunk and root flare, especially if you see cracks, cavities, mushrooms, soil changes, or damage.

  4. Canopy and branch structure

    Look upward for branch attachments, dead or hanging limbs, sparse foliage, and the overall canopy shape.

  5. Close-ups of defects or symptoms

    Capture bark wounds, discoloration, insects, leaves, fruiting bodies, or other specific concerns; pair each close-up with its wider context when possible.

  6. Nearby targets and site constraints

    Show what the tree could affect, such as a roof, vehicles, play area, utility line, slope, or limited access.

Useful evidence

A ruler or coin gives close-ups helpful scale.

Include context

Pair a detail shot with the wider view that shows where it sits.

Share recommendations

Add any contractor estimate, marking, or written concern if available.

Review timing: Expect an initial review within 2 business days; complex or safety-sensitive cases may need an onsite referral.

This remote review is guidance, not a substitute for an onsite inspection where conditions require one.
