I used to. It ebbs and flows. Every client has different requirements. Ie haulage distances, terrain, and location of trees.

 

The Volvo is quite versatile as I often have to haul a few miles.

 

Track machines are quite limited. As the majority of my work involves Tarmac at some point.

 

I'm hungry for work if anyone has anything. Nice finders fee or margin!

 

I charge €1600 + vat+ haulage. Averaged €2000 + vat per day.

Usually move 20-30 trees per day, sometimes more.

Can move up to 55cm trees, rootball in old money, 5 ft wide, 3 ft deep.

Have you tried networking with other uk based treemovers, If anyone sells trees from mainland britain to ireland you would be a cost effective option.

I have tried linking in with a few larger firms, but being so small, I guess their interests are with larger machines with higher costs - margins.

 

I'm very keen to try Northern Ireland, but im willing to work with anyone who's genuine.

 

I'll post up more pics later, but I do a good amount of work on golf courses.
