    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    For me personally two years is a genuine turning point, I am 63 this year and if I can keep going for a little while longer then certain tangible benefits will appear. I can’t go into detail as I’m sure you understand.

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    Just keep ploughing forward, targeting that 2 year selling deadline. We all get low periods, I’m in one at the moment, but don’t lose sight of the prize. Two more years..

    How do you handle diesel fuel for your equipment?

    They supply disposable plastic gloves for free in most service stations. Otherwise pack your own and stick it under the seat.

    If you’re telling the truth, which I doubt, then your stupid grandstanding dishonours your friend.

    Offering additional services such as lawn mowing / landscaping

    Problem I see is that you’re mowing their lawns for x amount of dollars, then they want a tree done and will not like paying xxx amount of dollars because you’re there the same amount of time. You’re diluting the brand.
