04 / How work is organised
A clear plan before the first step.
Every property is different. Work starts with a specific site and an agreement that fits it.
The site
Share the location or cadastral reference, area and your objective.
The agreement
We confirm conditions, method, quantities and total price in a written quote.
The right time
Work follows the site, season and applicable restrictions.
The review
We review the result and record the treated area and follow-up needs.
The forest’s timing matters. Soil, weather, season and environmental restrictions affect method and scheduling. Care may take place well after planting.

FAQ / Good to know
Questions before work begins.
If your question is not answered here, send us a few lines about your site.
Get in touchCan I commission work as a private individual?
Yes. Services are for private forest owners, companies, managers and authorised representatives. We can also communicate with owners living abroad when the work site is in Estonia.
Does the €600/ha planting base rate include seedlings?
No. It is the labour base rate excluding VAT for planting approximately 2,000 seedlings per hectare on prepared land. The corresponding VAT-inclusive starting rate is €744/ha. The client supplies seedlings or they and their delivery are quoted separately. Soil preparation is a separate operation.
Do three operation areas add up to three hectares of land?
Not necessarily. The same hectare can receive soil preparation, later planting and subsequent care. Each operation then has a quantity of 1 ha, while the physical land area remains one hectare.
What does a price per care visit mean?
€400/ha is the base rate excluding VAT for one visit; including VAT it is €496/ha. If the same area needs two visits, the operation is priced twice. Actual repeat needs and timing are agreed from vegetation and young-tree conditions.
Can I enter a smaller area or many hectares?
Yes. The calculator accepts hectares or square metres; 1 ha = 10,000 m². For example, 0.5 ha is 5,000 m². This is an area-based estimate. A small-site call-out, equipment transport, access and materials may affect the final price separately.
When can work take place?
Suitable timing depends on the operation, seedling availability, site, weather and restrictions. A time window is confirmed after reviewing the site. Preparation, planting and care are distinct stages and need not happen in the same week.
What do you need to prepare a quotation?
A cadastral reference or marked map, approximate area, required service, access details and preferred time window are most useful. For planting, add species and whether seedlings are available. We can clarify details by telephone or at an agreed site review.
