Climbing a quote

[Ross Smith]

Has anyone ever chose to climb a tree to give themselves a better idea of how long it would take to do the tree work.

Looked at a tricky Mac removal today and almost jumped up their for a better view on how to attack it.

Tight drop zones and hanging over a nice house.

Will be a good job with some tricky rigging,client just rang back and accepted the quote

hopefully start next thurs wit the expertise help of a certain Mr Bolam,sorry mate no whales involved.

You never said it was a Mac.

 

I've just remembered I'm getting my nails done and a Brazilian next Thursday....

 

Often climb into conny hedges to see what it's like at cutting height.

 

I thinking climbing a fair sized tree before you quote it is a good idea on two counts - 1) You will defo have a better idea about the time the job will take and 2) You may well impress the client by your keeness, and the fact that you use a harness and all manner of modern tomfoolery.

 

You only get one chance at getting the price right, so why not put a bit of effort in?

 

Good post.

Only a few times....most notably on a big old sweet chestnut with loads of holes and weirdness- very tolkien-esque tree with a very specific list of what we could do from the T.O.
