Dependant on area,your quality of work,experience and on who your working for,I would say £80-120 on the ground £115-175 climbing.

Your rates are too high at the top end for someone with only a couple of years experience don't you think? This is tree work not working for a law firm

Completely depends on your quality of work, what you are able to do (eg. reduce and shape a mature beech tree by 10%), speed in which you can do it without infringing on safety, able to solve any problems that may arise, area, what kit you own/offer, lead a team etc?

 

At 23 with 2 years experience I would suggest between £80 and £120 depending on these said variables.

How full is your full licence? Can you tow a trailer (legally), I mean a real one not a 750kg pencil sharpener.

 

What area and what are you charging now?
