    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    My guess is 3 more years on full closure. I should have listened to you on the upper canopy pruning and I could have mitigated that triple years ago. To be honest, these houses are boring, ugly, and too small for a large tree with low branches. I want the tree, that will eventually be larger...

    Discount on fixed bids?

    I am not a big fan of the bait and switch discounting. I normally do not discount unless i am at fault by either biding too high after completion as others do or extenuating circumstances develop. Everyone gets the same price. My area is unique and they all talk to each other. I do know...

    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    The next crown raising took place to achieve the target hight of the canopy. One disappointing discovery was a double inclusion within the canopy on the driveway side. I was hoping to keep the lower intact but ended up subordinating them both leaving a hole in the canopy over the driveway. I...

    Wound closure is almost complete. Squirrel damage is slowing things down slightly. No decay present.

    Here is a progress report on one of my project trees. The canopy development is balanced and full.

    Decayed White Oak...interested to hear how you would have bid it

    I agree. Pricing should be close. 2 hours with a crane or 6 hours without still should be within 10-20%

    Decayed White Oak...interested to hear how you would have bid it

    6 hrs x4 = 24 man hours $2200/24 = $91.66 hr. No dump fee (25,000# wood?), richest county, hum? Friends and family rate. ok. $125 x 24 = $3000 plus dump.

    They bid tree work like they don't need money

    Two big problems in my local market. Welfare and drugs. Want to wash money? Start a tree/landscape company and sour the market with rock bottom prices, cash discounts, and checks made out to "cash". Then cook the books and price the jobs any way you want. Buy really fancy equipment. All...

    Cabling idea

    Pre-rigging. It has been suggested/practiced for awhile now. Haven't seen it in the standards. keep digging on the subject you will find more information. You can use both dynamic and steel cables.

    Does anyone use HomeAdvisor?

    Dont do it. The charge $22-35 per lead. Tried them for a month before suspending then canceling last year. Went to 1 lead in 18. Sold the one that I went too. The company listed tree services that did not pay for HA before my listing. HA require you to fill out the request before seeing...

    chainsaw sharpener

    Old thread but relevant. We took a chain sharpener with us on to Hurricane Michael. It was a life saver. Have one for emergencies. You will never have enough chains or time to hand sharpen 30-50 chains a week.

    Chipper Insurance

    Inland Marine. Had a good one with Auto Owners for all my bobcats and stuff but they wont cover the chipper. Progressive covered the chipper until they realized that they were covering a $45,000 piece of equipement as a trailer for $400 per year then dropped the chipper. The only chipper...

    Things are coming back. We camp where we work and bring all of our supplies in. Showers are from a jug and we dig the shitter. Fuel is starting to flow down south along the 231.
