A one man band doesn't mean you have to work alone, I am a sole trader but regularly get in labourers or subbie climbers. It's a challenge at times but I just about make it work.

It must be tough doing tree work alone and is it not even dangerous at times?

 

 

I don't think many people do it alone, I d put myself in the one man band category but have subby groundie in 3/4 days a week.

I do one job on my own only small pruning and a bit of trimming thing is last year I fell through their shed roof as it was rotten straddled a mountain bike too 😭 anyway I could of trimmed the section off A frames but had no one to foot them for me. Needless to say won't be doing it alone again. The customer was cool about the roof and said they've been meaning to replace it for ages. I needed to replace my back wheels jeez had to be the men's mountain bike I landed on.

How many people work in inclement weather? I know some jobs are doable but others...scratting about up a piss wet through tree in wind and rain ain't my idea of fun! You ruin gardens dragging brash and cant clear up properly. Do other people feel the same of am I just getting soft:001_smile:

 

Hi I just get on with it, explain risk of lawn damage to customers it's there shout won't climb in high winds,most or my work is on farms,paddocks so fairly lucky in that respect weather due to get cold next week so hopefully strong winter sun in daytime may start to dry things out fingers crossed.

I am a one man band, but like a lot have said, I use subbies, groundies as I need! I'm lucky to know a lot of top class climbers!! Who I pay well and I get a lot of talent in return 👍🏻
