[sean1212]

Hi there I am just starting to get some of my own work come in and would like some help with pricing I have 3 oaks to reduce each around 40 feet height with a fair amount branches there is nothing in the way so no need to rigg anything would be one climber and one groundie all log and brash is wanted by the customer I am reasonably fast but there are plenty faster than me out there do would really like an idea of how long it would take some of u to do the work do I can get an idea on what to price it at after taking into account fuel and such any feed back would be great

 

Many thanks

Hi mate,

 

Prob best to do a search as there have been loads of questions on a similar subject recently. Really you need to work out how long it will take YOU, not some one else, then add your time, overheads, groundy, travel etc, and then a little incase things go wrong and you wont be far off. Pics would help if you want a rough idea on time, but like most on here, I wouldn't price a job from a picture! Hope this helps.

In all seriousness though, no one can help you without pictures and knowing how much % reduction you are talking about.

You should know how long it will take from the jobs you've done previously for other people. 2 men with kit 4-500 a day if your productive
