After reading a lot of the threads on here it becomes clear that this is a job that many of you love, and others love to hate. So what is the best and worst thing about being a tree surgeon?

 

I'd like to know what I can look forward to when I enter the big wide world of tree's.:001_cool:

Best, starting a big takedown on a crisp September morning.

 

Worst, reducing a big leylandii hedge in the rain, at any time of the year!

The best thing working outside.

 

The worst thing working outside

 

 

:001_tongue:

 

Or-

 

Standing back and admiring a really nice reducition and listening to some praise from a well pleased customer.

 

Pricing a job to do a proper bit of pruning only to drive past a few weeks later to find some gypo has hacked it to pieces.

I like the start of the job ie the talking to the customer booking them in etc , I like the end the job the money side, the cheque or the smell of cash, the bit I hate is that bit in between the two...:scared1:

Best thing yeah i love them winter mornings really fresh crisp clear air. Or when im high up in winter and everything is white.

 

Knocking out huge lumps and watching the rigging gear at work.

 

Hate working with lazy people does my nogging in.

 

I really slap myself when i underprice.

 

I could never do a normal job after doing this.

 

Take downs are just down right fun and you get paid happy days.:001_tt1:
