Arboretum and Cemetery Preventive Maintenance

[not for sale sorry]

sounds like you have it all there mate, just sit down for a few hours and now draw a contract up let us now how you get on with it

Strikes me like it might be better to start by surveying the site...With so many trees/sections as you say, the owners/trustees/authority/guardian ( sorry, whoever they are ) would seem to have little or no idea what management is required, possible or desirable at this stage because of the lack of sense of scale.

It is quite possible too that funds are redirected or priorities change over time or with the introduction of new/change of staff/personnel, whatever.) I mean the owners/whoever) The danger is you are committed thru a contract to works that becomes expensive and unrewarding for both parties...Not trying to put too much of a downer on it !!

A survey would enable both you and the owners to better quantify the task ahead and prioritise a work strategy.....Gives them options that can be tailored to suit timescales and budgets etc. Just my thoughts matey , hope it helps!!

Yes, this helps very much, thank you. Right, it seems like a pie in the sky project.. endless trees, endless budget, endless works performed. I will try and get a better sense of what they would think my services would be worth to them, and on what scale, both pay, and magnitude of project, would they desire.

 

I will keep you all posted, and thank you for such helpful feedback. I feel better already, and know here to put my energies for now.

 

Cheers,
