Tree Surgeon Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years keeping urban trees safe and healthy, and I’ve learned to spot trouble before it becomes a problem. At a typical site I’ve pruned, shaped and treated multiple species, using rope access and a platform where needed. In one season we reduced storm damage risk on 40 trees by improving crown balance and removing deadwood, with the job done in steady, careful steps rather than rushing. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because you’re focused on effective tree care and clear client communication. My day-to-day involves pruning and shaping for health and aesthetics, treating pests and disease, and advising clients on ongoing care. I’ve worked with chainsaws and pruning gear daily, and I keep the equipment well maintained so downtime is minimal and jobs run smoothly. A practical example from a recent project at [Previous Company] shows why this matters. We faced a risk assessment near a busy street and needed to work from a rope sequence to access a tall limb. We completed the prune and removal of deadwood in two half days, and the client appreciated the calm, methodical approach. The site ended with a noticeable improvement in safety and appearance, and we avoided disruption to surrounding foot traffic. I’d be glad to discuss how I can contribute to your team. I’m available for a chat and can bring references that speak to reliability, practical problem solving, and steady progress on site. Kind regards, [Your Name]
