Checklist step 1: safety and priority zones

Mark blocked or unsafe zones first: driveway, walkway, gates, and utility-side areas. Identify anything that prevents normal access or creates immediate risk.

Keep this list short and practical. Priority zone clarity improves dispatch planning and keeps scope focused.

Checklist step 2: document debris and handling

Capture rough debris type and volume: trunk sections, branch scatter, or mixed yard debris. Then state handling preference: stage, haul, or mixed.

This single step removes a large amount of estimator ambiguity and helps avoid back-and-forth.

Checklist step 3: add photos and constraints

Add at least one wide shot and one close shot per high-priority zone. Mention gate width, carry distance, parking/staging limits, and known obstacles.

Final quote is still confirmed after assessment, but this checklist produces stronger planning estimates and faster follow-up.
