Anyone care to quote from a picture?

I'd say it was a damn sight more than an hours work, theres a 50ft drag through a garage to contend with as well, how bigs the garage..?..

 

If the ladder is 16 ft then there is 14-16ft of tree to top out, looks about 6 or 7 stems...bit of snedding out, drag the 50ft navigating through the garage of unknown size...the one near the path may as well be felled unless they want a dead stump sat on the outside of their newly financed hedge..

 

conifer jobs = unknown quantity = price accordingly...imho:001_cool:

There's always another way.....

 

charge whatever you want to charge, leave all the crap there for 'garden mulch' and go and do two more jobs like it on the same day, then go home with an empty van....

You want two things in life, a good car and a good pair of girlfriends. If your not in one you're in the other.

[Big 'Ammer]

Ho Ho!

 

One womans enough for me!

 

I wouldn't mind a good car a good pair of guns to enjoy the days shooting the second two jobs paid for mind!

1hour job = minimum 4hour charge. ever wonder why plumbers have a £100 callout charge?

That's ok if you are working away from home.

 

Today I have three jobs booked in and I can see my house from all of them furthest is about 800 yards

 

Yesterday I was a mile away but could still see my house and the second job was at the bottom of the hill 200 yards away.

 

If a job takes 2 hours and I have to tip and change gear I charge the half day to cover that time and sometimes I can get three small jobs in for three half day prices. But it's rare I do 8 hours a day. Most days I'm dropping my groundy off at 2.30pm

Dean, you can only work from home for a while. Eventualy you will have done all the trees near you!

If you stick a pin in my house and do a radius of one mile there are thousands of houses, with enough leylandii and Hawthorn hedges to keep me going for life .

 

Each area will have it's own maximum day rate, I started too low with my day rate and found myself with loads of work, I pushed up the day rate until the work coming in was just right. That's what we all do and the rate differs all over the country.
