Sound familiar?
Customer calls for a quote. You grab a legal pad and drive out to eyeball it.
Type the address, draw the property on satellite, get the acreage. Build the quote from your truck.
Back from the site. Trying to remember the acreage and what was dense hardwood vs light brush.
The polygon is saved. Density and terrain are tagged. Rate card already did the math.
Typing up a quote in Word. Guessing your cost per acre because you don't track teeth and fuel by job.
One tap to generate a branded PDF quote. Satellite map, acreage, line items, total. Send it from the app.
Did you actually make money on that 40-acre clear? No idea. The check cleared but so did a lot of diesel and teeth.
Estimated revenue vs. actual costs. Green or red. Per job. No more guessing.
Features
Everything between the phone call and the check.

Draw the property on satellite, get acreage, pick your conditions, and the rate card does the math.

Customer list
Name, phone, email, address. Jobs linked to customers. Simple, not a CRM.
How it works
Quote to invoice in four steps.
No training manual. No onboarding call. Draw the polygon, let the rate card price it, track the job, and invoice from what you already captured.
Draw the polygon on satellite
Type the address or drop a pin. Trace the property boundary. Acreage is auto-calculated from the polygon.
Rate card fills the price
Pick vegetation density and terrain. Your saved rate card fills the per-acre price. Add mobilization, stump treatment, hauling.
Track the job
Hours, fuel, teeth, before/after photos per day. Know your actual cost when the mulcher loads out.
Invoice from the estimate
Line items pull from the quote. Adjust if scope changed. Branded PDF. Email to the customer.
Did you make money on that job?
You bid 5 days at $3,800 an acre. It took 6. You burned through 40 teeth instead of 25. Fuel was higher than you figured. MulchDeck shows you the number, not the feeling.
