    When a customer declines your quote...

    Ended up hearing back from client and from what it sounds they just aren't sure how they are going to proceed forward at this time, or whether they are going to do all of the work, etc. But I do agree with everything that was said, certainly can't take things personally in business. Just got to...

    How engaged are you with your business outside of typical work hours?

    Not running out of work, been happy with how things are going actually and how busy I am. I was just curious what others did. I could never NOT return someone's call (unless it's not a customer looking for an estimate and someone trying to sell something or what have you). Even if it's not in...

    How engaged are you with your business outside of typical work hours?

    I guess everyone's work / life balance looks different and it depends on what you enjoy, other things you got going on and or hobbies, family, etc. You could also argue there's the physical and mental health aspects to consider. Do you ever find yourself engaged with your business almost 24/7...

    When a customer declines your quote...

    Very true! Different individuals may just have a different way of conveying that in writing.

    When a customer declines your quote...

    Goes without saying you don't win every bid. Some people will reach out and let you know, while others you may never hear from after submitting the bid. I recenty bid a project that I felt good about. Good interaction with the customer, etc. A couple days after submitting the quote they...

    Cats of Treebuzz…prrrrr

    My cat is long hair and indoors. In addition to brushing her I also give her a bath. Brush first, then bath. I know a lot of people say cats clean themselves and you don’t have to, but I feel like it also helps with her fur. And aside from a little talk back when she knows it’s bath time she’s...

    You may pay the bills, buy the food, and clean the house but the cats are in charge!

    We Don't Need No Stinking Ropes

    Only thing missing is a Poulan Pro. The number one choice in outdoor power equipment for professional lumberjacks.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Would you rent a lift for these trees? Piece the branches out with a pole saw first and then drop the log? Or just pull them away from the shed whole? Curious on your thoughts…

    Is that your new chip truck? It’s nice!

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I would say for a smaller operation, that extra time it takes to cut up brush into smaller pieces to feed into chipper depending on the size of the jobs you are taking on may not be as big of a deal as it is to a larger outfit handling much larger quantities of material where there would be a...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    That is true, and I guess it would boil down to how much you think a smaller sized chipper is actually slowing down your overall production / profitability and whether a larger chipper would be worth the investment.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Nope, never had any issues with the Vermeer clogging. And I chipped some pretty good sized stuff with it and used it on some larger projects. Different types of wood / brush, etc. Some people just seem to dislike the smaller equipment though I guess, and that’s fine. That’s a matter of opinion...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I’ve ran a 90XP and was happy with it. Also a Vermeer 6 inch and that worked well. The 9 inch certainly has advantages over the 6 inch being able to process a lot more brush at once because of the wider opening. Not sure what Bandit’s 6 inch is like but the Vermeer I used had somewhat of a...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    As someone who has worked both on a larger operation with crane, big chipper and chip truck, bobcat with grapple, etc. and smaller operation focused more on pruning, shrubs and hedges, etc…I think it depends on what you’re looking for in a setup, how much overhead you want to take on, and what...

    When arborists agree

    I’ve had a few instances where when I visit a property a client is looking to remove an otherwise healthy tree because of issues like too much shade, overpowering the yard space, etc. But if I think it’s possible I usually will first offer pruning as a first step alternative, explaining that...
