Tree service marketing that books the big removals, not just the storm weeks.
We build the tree service lead generation engine that turns your market into a steady flow of booked removals, crane jobs, and recurring pruning and plant health care work, run it for you, and hand you the keys. No more renting shared leads that four other crews are racing you to.

Start with your email and we'll hold your spot. It takes about 30 seconds.
A few details about your business.
So we can study your market before the call and make it worth your time.
You're building toward it.
Contractor Fast Lane is built for businesses doing $500K+ a year, so the growth engine has enough to really compound. You're not quite there yet, and that's completely okay.
We've got your details. As you grow, we'll send you the moves that get you there, and the moment you cross $500K, you'll be first in line.

Anyone can drop a tree. Not everyone gets the call that pays for the crane.
The same search brings you a $400 limb trim and a $9,000 crane takedown, and most companies chase both the same way. Tree service marketing is what sorts those calls, proves you are the insured crew, and keeps the chipper running in February.
We build the tree service lead generation, run it while your crews keep cutting, and put the whole thing in your name. No marketplace call four other outfits already paid for. Think of it as iron: bought once, works every season, yours.
In 2015 I started Four28 Marketing with one goal: give local businesses an unfair advantage in their market.
Eleven years and 250+ businesses later, one pattern kept jumping out. Home services was the one place I could run the same playbook and watch it actually work. Not a slide in a quarterly review, real jobs on a real calendar. I’d rather move the needle for a small business than a Fortune 500 any day.
So we took everything we had built over a decade and pointed all of it at one thing.
The tree work is the easy part. The phone is not.
Every one of these costs you booked removals, and not one of them is about how well your crew drops a tree.
Storm spikes, then months of quiet
A big blow buries you for two weeks, then the board goes silent and the bucket trucks sit. You cannot make payroll on weather you cannot schedule.
Shared leads racing four crews to one tree
You pay $25 to $100 for shared tree removal leads, then race four other companies to the same backyard. On a hazard tree, whoever answers first wins the emergency.
Invisible the moment a tree comes down
When a limb is through the fence and the homeowner searches for help, the franchises and every chainsaw-and-a-pickup outfit show up first. If you are not on page one and in the map pack, that removal is not yours.
Calls missed while crews are in the canopy
An emergency tree call that waits an hour is usually gone. When your climbers are sixty feet up and nobody answers, the job goes to the next crew on the list.
You do the dangerous part. We do the boring part.
You have the bucket, the chipper, the climbers, and the coverage to work over a roofline. What you do not have is a dependable way to keep it booked in the weeks the wind stays calm. That is the part we build, and the part you keep.

“I've worked with plenty of agencies that promise the world and deliver a folder full of vanity metrics. Contractor Fast Lane is different. They feel like an extension of our team and take the time to understand our industry instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all template. Since partnering with them we have seen a significant increase in qualified leads and a real boost in ROI, and our cost per acquisition has dropped.”
We've used a number of marketing agencies over the years. Contractor Fast Lane has hands-down been our favorite to work with. We tell everyone that they need to hire them. They exponentially increased our revenue. They are phenomenal to work with!
I was with a different company for TWELVE years whom I trusted, only to find out he had not been performing yet was charging us anyway. We didn't have our log-ins, never got reports, and had no idea what we were missing.. until my wife found these guys. Daniel and the team have made my business shine. They are a God send.
My husband and I run a local business, and when it came time to grow we knew we needed experts. Contractor Fast Lane came highly recommended from a friend who raved about them. They are crazy good at taking complicated, nerdy stuff and making it make sense, and they were always communicating so I never once wondered what was going on. Their SEO work for our market has been a game changer, and we have seen a tangible increase in our lead volume.
It was clear they had done extensive research on our industry before we ever sat down. We spoke to other agencies, but there was a distinct difference. What really stood out was their proven track record getting clients top rankings on Google. We needed a site built the right way, optimized and built to convert, and that is exactly what they delivered. Honestly, it has been one of the best investments we have made for our business.
My lawn care company needed to fill our schedule fast, and Contractor Fast Lane was the solution. They identified the best times, places, and people to target to maximize the amount and quality of the jobs my money was paying for.

Stop renting tree service leads.
Own the system that makes them.
Buying tree service leads is renting. The day you stop paying, it all disappears and you start from zero. Owning your tree service lead generation is an asset that compounds and stays yours.
Pay forever. Own nothing.
Every removal costs the same or more than the last, and the leads vanish the day you stop paying.
Build once. Compound for years.
Your cost per booked job falls as the asset grows, and the website itself is fully yours at month 6.
Four systems.
One tree service engine.
Most tree service marketing leans on one channel and hopes for wind. We connect four so they feed each other, and feed your crews a steady flow of booked removals and pruning contracts.
removals
Get found, stay in front of the property owner, win the estimate, and answer faster than any crew in town. That loop is what makes your company the one they call before the storm, not the fifth bid after it. See how the full engine works →
No two tree calls are worth the same. Your engine should know which is which.
Your best jobs are the takedowns nobody else will touch, and they sit buried under a pile of cheap trims and a trust decision the homeowner makes in about ninety seconds. The whole engine is built around that.
1Sorting the trims from the takedowns
One keyword brings a $400 limb trim and a $9,000 crane takedown. Intake asks about size, access, and how close it sits to the house before anything gets scheduled, so your estimator's day goes to the jobs that pay for the equipment.
2Making uninsured bids look expensive
The outfit bidding half your price has no comp, no ISA card, no rigging. We put your coverage, your credentials, and your near-the-roofline work in front of the homeowner before price comes up, so cheap starts reading as risky.
3The 11 p.m. limb on the garage
Emergency calls do not wait for office hours or for the wind to drop. Every one gets answered and triaged around the clock, so hazard work gets a crew tonight and cleanup gets a real slot next week instead of hitting voicemail.
4Demand in the months nobody looks up
Dormant season is when the work is easiest: bare structure, firm ground, no ruts across the yard. It is also when the phone stops, because a bare tree looks harmless. We push pruning and plant health care demand into those months.
5Less windshield time per booked job
Bidding work you were never going to win still costs a truck, a tank of fuel, and half a morning. Intake collects photos and access details before anyone drives out, so your estimator quotes more of what is actually worth quoting.
6An engine in your name, not ours
Your data, reviews, content, and customers are yours from day one, and the website itself is fully yours at month six. Nobody can switch it off, raise your rate, or resell your callers, because there is no landlord on the other end.
Find out if your territory is still open.
One tree service company per market, and once a territory is claimed it is closed. Fifteen minutes on a call tells you whether yours is still on the board.
Book a Discovery Call →We know tree service. It shows.
What is actually in the engine, and whose name is on it.
No more juggling five vendors who do not talk to each other. Every piece of your tree service lead generation is built, connected, and run under one roof.
Tree service SEO & Google Maps
We get your company ranking for the searches that matter, tree removal, emergency tree service, stump grinding, and arborist near me across your service area, plus the Google map pack where the storm calls come from.
Google Local Services Ads
The Google Verified badge that puts your tree service at the very top of the results, pay-per-lead placement built for the homeowner staring at a leaning oak who needs it handled today.
Tree service PPC & paid social
Google Ads and paid social tuned to storm surges, removal intent, and off-season pruning and plant health care pushes, so you can turn demand up the moment the board has room.
A tree service website built to convert
A fast, mobile-first site engineered to turn visitors into booked estimates, with emergency request buttons, crane and crew photos, and the licensing and insurance proof property owners check before they call.
Review & reputation engine
Automated review requests that build a wall of five-star Google reviews, the fastest way to out-trust the chainsaw-and-a-pickup competition when the job is a tree hanging over a house.
Speed-to-lead & CRM follow-up
Every lead gets an instant text and a spot on your schedule, then automated follow-up until they book. On storm calls the first crew to answer wins the job, and now that is always you.
Built for the crews with real iron in the yard.
You run real crews and real iron, and want predictable, owned growth.
Contractor Fast Lane is built for established tree service companies doing roughly $500K to $10M and up per year that have outgrown storm luck and word-of-mouth. If you already run climbers, buckets, and chippers, we build the arborist marketing engine that smooths the feast-or-famine cycle and takes you to the next level, and we lock your market so a competitor cannot buy the same system.
Removals & storm responseHigh-ticket takedowns, crane jobs, and the insurance work that follows every storm.
Pruning & plant health careRecurring pruning schedules and PHC programs that smooth revenue between storms.
Commercial & municipalHOA, campus, and municipal contracts that keep crews busy on a calendar you control.
One tree service company per marketWe work with a single tree service company per service area. Yours locks when you start.
Your tree service engine gets stronger every month it runs.
Trees do not stop growing after you leave the yard. The customer whose oak you pruned this winter has three more trees and a stump, and she calls you again in two years. The engine you own does that too: every review, page, and record you add makes the next season easier.
A busy month is easy to rent. Nobody rents a decade, and the tree companies that get one built the demand themselves instead of bidding for it.
Why we built this.
“I kept watching the same thing happen: a tree service doing five-star work, running circles around the shop down the street, and still losing to them. Not because the other guy was better. Because he had a system bringing him customers, and they didn't.
So we built the system. Then we packaged the whole thing, done for you, for local service businesses ready to scale. We keep your calendar full, you run the jobs, and it is all in your name, right down to the website becoming yours at month 6.
No contracts, no lock-ins. We earn it every month. And we only take one company per market, so if yours is still open, I'd love to meet you.”
Your tree service engine, running live.
A sample view of the system you would be running: appointments, pipeline, and the market you have locked, all in one place with nothing held hostage.
- Booked jobs land straight in your pipeline, not a shared marketplace.
- Every lead is exclusive to you and never resold to a competitor.
- The system compounds every month instead of resetting when you stop paying.
- Nothing held hostage: the website is fully yours at month 6, an asset on your books.
