No offense taken. I agree it’s a great opportunity for someone. If I was offered that option five years ago I would have been all over it. I was hoping to find someone on the forum that was already local or willing to move to take on a less demanding, well paying job. I’ve taken all the risk in...
That’s not a viable option. First of all we are talking about between five and 20 stumps per week. 20 is on the very high-end and might only happen once or twice a year. So legitimately maybe 1/2 day twice a week. I cannot sub. Nobody that grinds stumps for a living carries as much insurance as...
I’m needing to get an idea of who is wanting to roll with us this year.

Hourly rate X estimated time. I never share how I come up with it unless asked directly. I don’t care if it’s a grand oak over a glass house-my rate is the same. When I used to have to rent stuff, I would add that in. When I can use the crane, I add that in. $200 per hour. Usually it lowers my...
We give free estimates unless an arborist assessment is needed/wanted. You received some good advise and examples here I believe. We also have a job fee minimum. Customers are told that on the phone to avoid the real small stuff. Also, we require husband and wife to be present on all estimates...
Been thinking about finding an operator that wants to take possession of my grinder. Was thinking they could just grind my stumps as payment and use the machine to make their own money with. They would be responsible for maintenance and teeth. I have 1 to 5 stumps 4 days a week to grind
