Yeah, plus when the kids are older you've got cheap labour.

My son was 10+ before he was strong enough to pull-start a chainsaw but up until then they'll have to just use a axe.

 

You gone soft Ed? Didn't you get them doing a cord of logs before school from the age of six?

Would someone be able to do a quick list of everything needed starting up a business in garden/tree maintenance. E.g insurance, waste tickets etc etc

 

Just a bullet point list is fine if you can [emoji15][emoji16]

Nothing in particular to gardening/tree work if you already have nptcs.

 

Insurance - Employer's Liability (Public Liability advisable)

Waste Carrier's License (no cost if just moving green waste)

PPE, first aid kit etc

Register as self employed with HMRC

 

They are the only legal requirements I can think of.

 

If trees are being climbed there should be someone on the ground who can rescue.

Quality! Thankyou. Obv employee insurance is only if I employ someone ?

 

That's the biggest problem, I would be on the ground but don't have rescue

Going back to earlier posts, if I got back in the game so to speak, my winter months are covered, I have work from November till end of April time, so 6 months. It's only another 6 months that I need to find work. Grass cutting, hedges and some tree clearances etc. Not confident enough to do landscape gardening yet as in paving and fences! But that ain't too bad right? Only 6 months work to find?
