It's hard and you are expected to work wonders when subbing to landscape / poor tree firms who know very little on tree work and how it's actually done

 

end up having to run the job and decide for everyone what is actually going to happen to said tree :001_smile:

To be a successful subby you need to be able to do any tree you are given with the equipment available. I sub too about 6 different co's with varying levels of gear ranging from virtually nothing to a 23m spider lift.

Most of my work is just run of the mill stuff with the odd crappy tree thrown in but this is because they know I can do whatever is asked. If someone only ever gets me me in for horrible trees then they are either charged a lot more £££ or more often than not I'd be busy. I don't like people that extract urine as it were.

it's all i do and it's epic. six or seven crew's to work for at any one time ,it gets you loads of mates aswell. and you can bring some of the crew's together when they need help on big jobs, all in all a lot more open and out there than sticking to one employer if that makes sense. five yrs experience a must.
