Fence + Deck + Hardscape Leads from Tree-Removal Permits

Major tree removals don't happen on a whim. The homeowner already has the next project on the whiteboard — usually a privacy fence, a back deck, a patio extension, or pool prep. The 1-2 weeks between tree removal and the followup project is the lot's most workable window. That's when you bid.

Frequently asked questions

Real questions contractors have asked us. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].

How do I tell a "lot-clearing" tree removal from a routine pruning?

Most city permit feeds tag the work type. Filter for 'removal' + permit-fee >$200 (the price tier that indicates a major tree or multiple trees, not a dead-limb removal). On PermitGrab, set the digest filter to permit_type=tree-removal AND estimated_cost>200.

What about HOAs and gated communities?

HOA fence rules vary; some require specific materials/heights. The address lets you look up the HOA via county records and check the bylaws before quoting. Most subscribers maintain a small 'HOA-allowed materials' cheat sheet for the 3-5 communities in their service area.

Do tree-removal permits show in all cities?

Most cities (~85% of PermitGrab's covered cities) require a permit for any removal of a tree above a certain DBH (diameter at breast height). Phoenix and most southwest cities also require permits on protected/native species. Coverage is strongest in cities with active urban-forestry departments — Austin, Portland, Atlanta, Raleigh, Charlotte.

How fresh are the leads?

We collect permits daily from the city and county portals. Most cities show permits within 24-48 hours of issuance. The 'Today's Hot Leads' block on each city page shows permits issued in the last 7 days.

Do they include phone numbers?

Yes — owner phones where available (from enrichment), plus the contractor's business phone where the permit data publishes it. Coverage varies by city — Phoenix, Miami-Dade, San Antonio currently top 3 by phone count.

How much does it cost?

PermitGrab is $149/month flat. No annual contract. Cancel anytime. No per-lead fee, no shared-lead surcharge, no surprises.

Can I try before paying?

Yes. Start a 14-day free trial with full Pro access — every contractor and owner phone, unlimited reveals, CSV export, and city alerts. A card is required to start, but cancel in one click anytime before day 14 and you won't be charged. After that it's $149/month, cancel anytime.

Can I import the leads into my CRM?

Yes — CSV export is included on Pro. Works with ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, HubSpot, and any CRM that accepts CSV.
