Just curious what everyone would quote for this

[arbormonkey]

A customer I went to see the other day has asked me to quote to take down 8 large conifers and reduce 5 Lombardi poplars to approx 15ft. Id say there is roughly 2 truck loads of chip to each conifer and one truck load for the poplars. Three of the poplars there is plenty of room to work but the other two rigging is needed. I have also found out He wants me to do the job.

 

 

 

thanks in advance jay

How large are the trees I mean there could be a weeks work or a days work in what you described.

 

Don't worry about what other quote I got stitched on a job this week 12 cypress 20 ft tall put half a day on it at £375 and some mug got it for 150 who cares

Id say the poplars have got to be 50ft and conifers 30ft there will be 2 climbers and two groundies on this

Never have never will got my day rate it suits me I've got work 50% say how much the others 50 % pay top money for a top job if I concentrated on just tree work I'd have to worry about what the market would take. I've just quoted for a huge landscaping job lots of tree work involved. I was 10 k more expensive and still got the job. Means I can pay the boys good money they work long hours and get the job done well he goes down the polo club tells his chums what a top job I've done another job comes along.
