quoting

remember the climbing is always the easiest and quickest part....the clearing up is the hardest part. esp. on conifers. try and work out the man days and the chipper cost and the cost of removal of waste/wood and it helps if u can add good too.....good luck mate

I just went out to price trimming the top of a hedge and also a price for reducing it by 2'. The woman wanted ball park figures. I hate giving verbal quotes so I said 45-60 and 160 respectively. plus vat. Jeez I thought she had swallowed a wasp. " I only paid 30 quid last year" WTF does she want a quote from a Tree Service for then? I gave her the full we are pro's and have wages and insurance and tip fees etc.

 

Some people just waste my time.
