An example: Hollow Oak Tree Care

How it works

  1. Pick a style, or answer four questions and get a recommendation.
  2. Review the exact scope: what’s included, what isn’t, and every charge.
  3. Julian reviews it with you. You both sign the final written scope and service agreement.
  4. Then pay through a Stripe link made for your scope. Care billing starts 30 days later.
  5. Send your business details, logo and photos. No passwords, ever.
