Cochrane Tree Care
Kurt Stenberg’s days were spent driving between job sites, scribbling quotes on paper, and chasing down invoices. With Jobber, Kurt simplified how he quotes, books, and gets paid—growing Cochrane Tree Care into a $200K+ business he can run from the field.
Time lost to site visits and forgotten invoices
Kurt Stenberg started Cochrane Tree Care with a passion for tree health, not paperwork. But as his client base grew, his pen-and-paper system couldn’t keep up. He’d spend an entire day each week driving around to quote jobs and often forgot to send invoices altogether.
In the beginning, we were trying to keep track of all of our quotes… I ended up forgetting to invoice a lot of people.
This system wasn’t going to cut it. Fewer jobs booked and slower payments made it hard to run the business, especially when competing with more established competitors.
Moving to tree care software built for the field
Kurt turned to Jobber’s tree care software to bring structure and professionalism to his business. What started as a solo operation earning $30–40K per year has now grown to over $200K annually.
Core Jobber features that helped Kurt run a better tree care company:
- Online booking – Customers now submit job details and photos online, cutting down on site visits for quotes
- Professional quoting – Fast, accurate quotes help Kurt win more jobs without the back-and-forth
- Quick invoicing – Invoices go out on time, with less admin work
- Online payments – Saves time and ensures faster payouts
- Mobile access – Employees have everything they need in the Jobber app, whether they’re on the ground or up in the trees
Our quoting system has completely changed.
I don’t even have to go on-site for over 90% of our quotes now.
5X revenue and eight hours saved every week
Using Jobber, Kurt finally got control of his operations and the freedom to step back and work on the business, not just in it.
Here’s what changed:
- 5X revenue growth, from $40K to well over $200K annually
- More jobs booked, thanks to easy online request forms
- Saved at least 8 hours per week on quoting alone
- Clear visibility into bookings, jobs, and payments
- Less admin work and more time in the field
- Stronger professional image that sets them apart from competitors
We get more jobs because we get them their quotes a lot sooner.
They don’t have time to sit around and wait for other companies to come by.
