Property & land

Show Us the Property

Take the right pictures the first time. Choose the work, follow a safe shot list, and leave with a clean property packet.

Tool entries stay here unless you choose to share or submit them.

Three simple photos help Daniel understand.

No special camera skills needed. Use the normal camera on your phone. Take pictures from a comfortable, safe place.

  1. Show the whole entrance.

    Step back so both gateposts or sides of the opening fit in the picture. If it is easy and safe, tell us the clear width in feet and inches. No gate? Show the narrowest opening.

  2. Show the hill from the side.

    From safe, level ground, take a side view that shows the high and low ground together. If there is no hill, show the area that needs attention.

  3. Show the way in.

    Stand where the truck could park and point toward the work area. Include turns, narrow spaces, and low branches. Describe any part of the route you cannot show.

A fourth photo can show the problem up close. Skip anything you cannot photograph safely. You can still send a request without pictures.

Use this checklist if you want more detail. Nothing is sent to Daniel here. To share pictures, open the project request form and choose them there.

Optional photo checklist

What are you documenting?

Safe shot list

Check each view as you collect it. A close-up without context is rarely enough.

This is a reminder only. Your pictures stay in your phone’s photo library until you attach them to a request or text.

Review packet

Copy, print, and share run only when you choose them. Sharing sends this summary to the app or person you select.

This tool checks only your checklist. It does not analyze photographs, diagnose property conditions, establish a boundary, locate utilities, or confirm safe equipment access.

This opens the existing Moss & Sons request form with the summary carried privately in this browser for up to 30 minutes. Your tool summary is not sent to Moss & Sons unless you review and submit that form. The site records a general button-use event without your measurements or notes.
