Time to hang up my spikes

Some solid advice on here.
Ring every tree surgeon in your county.
You'll get a few trials at least, but you get to build contacts. They will probably call you back in a few weeks when people emerge from hibernation and suddenly every home owner needs a tree or hedge cutting.
Good luck [emoji106]

You simply need to give it more time.  hard to say that when you have bills to pay.  Look for other avenues and keep plugging away

There is plenty of work out there , just see how many tree surgeons / outfits there are ...getting a share of the market is one challenge  , doing it for fair / decent  financial reward is another challenge again  !!  loads and loads of Leylandiis out there that get bigger every year ....

...... And this is the sort of thing you are up against. People know that you are a thoroughly decent, non argumentative, hard working chap, yet they will try to wear you down.

 

Don't let the bastards get you down......

Nathan of course.

 

I'd have added modest and dashingly good looking if a was talking about myself.

I'm glad you've seen the error of your ways.
