Need help with a program

I work in the tree industry and we are currently looking for a software where we can have our estimates made on a computer. I'm wondering if there is anyone that knows where I can get a program that has basically like a text box where I can drag and drop tree icons and house icons into a text box, but also have where I can type all the customers information and details of the job to be completed. I have been looking around all over the internet and can not find anything that does what I require.

Hope someone can help. Thank you

By "tree industry" do you really mean "landscaping"?

If so, then you could try this, this, or this.

Not landscaping we mainly deal with tree and stump removal tree pruning etc.

That last link that you posted looks interesting and I'm going to look into it. Thanks for the help

Acquiring AutoCAD or some CAD-derivate application might be kind of an overkill for your requirements. Just my opinion.

You may want to consider the option of hiring some developer(s) or some firm that develops software based on your needs. Yes, it might be expensive, but in the end, I'd bet it's gonna cost you less than some sort of CAD suite, which are helluva expensive.

Be aware, the "third link" that D1 provided looks like a nifty utility indeed, but it's just an add-on for AutoCAD. And it's 110$, that's a fair price for an add-on.

Your requirements seem really minimal that's why I don't see the real need for such a complex, advanced, and feature-laden design suite. This is just an option to consider. You may even want to look into open-source CAD derivates: check this link.
