Hi Im a gardener, been running for 2 1/2 years and I'm starting to do a lot more tree work, mainly for a large farm near me where it's mostly cutting back branches to get tractors round fields and Cutting up any fallen trees in belts of trees, I like to be as professional as I can recently going ltd etc, what certificates would you recommend I get? I also do stump grinding with my own rayco rg13ii, and looking into getting a chipper asap. Any help appreciated

exquipment, as far as tree work goes I have a rayco rg13ii, ms660, ms362, ht131, transit tipper with Arb body, I'm collecting climbing equipment slowly so it doesn't hit my bank at once, I've got 2 Yale 13mm ropes one with eye, petzl zigzag, petzl foot ascender, treehog spikes, petzl harness, stihl protective trousers, cambium saver and general stuff like that, I don't want to upset you professional climbers but I do do some small climbing jobs and feel very competent, starting out I only climbed pines and Easy trees to get used to it. (See my dp)

To paint you a picture so you can see what level I'm at business wise, I did take an employee on about 6 months ago, he last 4 months but decided this industry wasn't for him, he wanted to be a chef, he was full time on salary, I was fully booked up for 3 weeks minimum whilst he was with me, I was doing 55 hours a week he was doing 45 hours, I will take someone else on to replace him but now I'll wait until January/ early February. With 2 people my turn over was £6.5k a month (£5.5k being labour). I really love the tree side of the business so I want to start growing that properly, my other work covered is grass cutting (2 council contracts on top of 35 domestic lawns) hedge cutting, waste removal, I sub out fencing and paving as I hate it with a passion, much more into the green side
