    How much is your Climber/ Lift Op vs. Groundworker lowering brush and wood?

    Generally if I’m using a friction device up top it’s for drift control, man on the ground does the lowering.

    I think they hear but don’t comprehend or just nod to verify they heard you talking but have no clue what was actually said.

    Walked away after starting a job today

    Charge accordingly. On jobs where the custy wants to do the clean up I’ll do a good job of organizing the mess so if they call for me to clean it up it’s not all cluster fucked.

    Alternatives to standard asphalt around roots

    Is it possible to do a tree well/ mulch ring using 1” washed rock the size of the CRZ+ some for future growth? Then pave around that.

    You must be fairly new to the industry lol customers say the darndest things. Give it time and you will hear it all. “Hey can you prune out this buckthorn” is a personal favorite of mine. :oops:

    Repacking a silvey tree jack

    A hydraulic shop would be a good stop/call. I’m just thinking parts availability and know how. I’ve had good luck with them talking me through some issues I had with a pump.

    Once the sheet metal is squared away, repairs/paint, I’d check a sign company as well.

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    Personally I like the carbide ones. The hardened steel ones you can take a cutoff disc and make gullets. But yes they do gum up but are easy to unclog.

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    Oscillating multi tool is my go to for girdling roots. As for narrower tips you can always cut/grind the cutter to meet your needs.

    If the customer is paying who cares how long it takes.

    Bid that tree!

    One work around with the drainage is cut a bunch of limbs and fill it, build up enough padding logs on either side to bridge the gap.

    Bid that tree!

    Take the fence apart and send it. Top rail is already bent, a post will need to be removed. It will probably add two hours to the total job.

    You can always take him out for drinks and dinner. Have the misses/you bake him an apple pie. There are all kinds of ways to repay someone without money. He may also enjoy splicing and you gave him something to splice.
