Been here much more than a while

I'm currently hiring for my arborist service.
We perform complete tree care and removal services, aside from chemical applications and air spade work, at the moment.
I focus on technique, gear and machinery as much as possible to work smarter, not harder. I bring friction and gravity everyday, harnessing it to do work as much as possible.
Today, I'm working at a residential Japanese garden, thinning for sunlight and view 1 Japanese maple, 1 Japanese snowbell, 2 western red cedars, 3 doug-fir, 1 Pine, chipping and hauling.
Last job, was a no clean-up, 2 dead tree removal (wedge over 100' grand fir and a dismantle into very small wood while supported by a large tree). The neighbor had one alder to fell and pull out with the mini- loader. No clean up.
Their neighbor has 3 hazard trees in a forested area to pull over backwards, no cleanup, plus haul some sort logs out of the woods.
More milled lumber from neighbor's sawmill to sticker-stack this afternoon. Considering purchasing a small sawmill to compliment his mill.
Lots of waterfront work, forested work on acreage, plus a little bit of city work for an HOA and select customers.
Looking for one person for short to long term, part to full time, apprentice to highly experienced. Opportunities and pay depend on skills and time frame. I want to pay well and expect to have my employee to be safe, dependable, and have a sustainable life without disruptive drama. RV space is a possibility.
I'm well-outfitted in-house, and hire a kboom log truck and stick crane, as needed. SRT 95% of the time, GRCS, Miniloader, Wraptor, full complement of climbing, cutting, rigging gear, etc.
I'm picking and choosing jobs and customers without advertising.
I enjoy getting into the flow state of treework, with good communication and working a preset and communicated plan. No surprises, very low danger.
Having a mini- loader, over time, here and there, I have rolled solo for long stints, still taking on big removal and pruning jobs, in addition to small and medium jobs, frequently for the same customers again and again, some annually, some every couple years. You eat an elephant one bite at a time.
