Danger trees

[treejumper8016]

I am contractor for our towns own electric company and I was wondering what some other contractors charge. I know that a lot of outfits charge by the hour. Any contributions?

different classes.....8-12 12-18 18-24 25+. different depending on urban or rural......cleanup or not. one example= urban with clean up 18-24 is 750.00
also differes with utility. no hourly charge. we bust [bad word] to get it done quick so they make out well.

I'm curious, does that mean something like 18' to 24' high lines at $750 per span?

Blinky, they appear to work by unit (pay per tree) of a fixed cost for a specified diameter range. Glad my crews are paid hourly, no busting [bad word] and cutting corners. We do however measure man hours per tree for the bonus program but the company is not screaming at you when it takes more time to do the job right and when the job requires a lot of time for rigging etc.
