I have not worked but been over to the area a couple of times and had the pleasure of spending time with a few companies for a day or two helping out. Bartlett have a number of depots in the area which you can find online. When we were with them the work seemed to be high end and if you are interested in plant health care as we were then well worth a think. Sacramento is further north and inland but is lovely and is called the city of trees lots of older properties and older tree stock, I may be able to dig out some contact details for you if required. There was a guy from Newcastle who has a company south of san fran but may be the wrong area for you. Good luck go for it.

Hi as a new boy (your words) the question is where you work and do you have a chipper at the moment. My company works mainly south London, Kent, Surrey with a massive range of clients, for us a four wheel drive which we have which is Jap by the way is not used that much. As we do not do a lot of off road stuff but is handy every now and then. If you are in areas like Scotland, Wales etc then four well drive all the way. So I think you have to know your market place and it must fit to what you have and what you aim to buy in the future. If your loaded debris then a good 35cwt tipper lwb flat bed tipper with crew cab for you tools would be perfect which you could then have high sides and a roof later on if you buy a chipper. Never been a fan of Landrover's had them in the past and never got on with them. Ps: I will have for sale a 35cwt standard build arb truck with tool box and chip box. Flat roof with ladder rack, beckons ect. Nice little start off truck pm me if you want info and photos.

I use invoices to go on my I pad for my quotes and quick books for all my invoicing and suppliers vat and a like. Just interested in other systems which are written for Arb.

Hi Guys Not been on for a while but was wondering if anyone is using the Arblogic program for quotes etc. I down loaded the free trail to have a look as I have been looking for a good program for sometime but it just does not do what I had expected. This is a £600 program which is a lump of money which I wont be buying. My question is who is running it as I have sent various requests for Tech help and had no reply's. Also tell me if your using it and what you think please. Thanks Wattie

Hi mick Very sorry did not see you had posted this, be very nice to get together. We have been very busy and if you are a bit lean now and again you can always call. I have hardly been out on the bank this year been down to hawkhurst fish farm very nice water and very nice fish have a look at the Facebook page. Ps still going to BNI had a day at buckmore park yesterday for £25 nice to have a change. Give me a call we can get together. Keven

Thanks I can see how I may be able to do that I have pages already which I can do a site plan and would be go for hazard notes, extra tools and risk assessment, however lads are telling not to worry about the RA for every job I look at just leave it to them to do on the day on the jobs I do win if you get my drift on that. Thanks Keven

Ok I have brought invoices to go which seems ok I am still playing around with it, a couple of things I am unsure of. I mainly want to use it as I said for my estimates to use drop down boxes for species and work, which I have set up in the item list, however if I pick let's say birch then of course it will ask for a value or rate, if I put nil value then it will show 0.00 in the total colum and them same again with the works required so you could have a list of 0.00 before the overall cost. At this time it is not an issue as the estimates will only be for our in house use as I will e mail them or save them for the girls in the office to convert for sending or e mailing. But i would like to think we could progress and send them straight from the I pad so do you know how to change the set up to not show the 0.00 for each item. The next point is when I set up a client on the estimate page it does not appear on the client page is this because at the time of the estimate they are not a client and you do something if they go ahead, or do you set up the client page for clients that we work for regular so you can produce an estimate page quickly with all there details or am I missing something. I suppose you could use your client list like a contacts page but to be honest I don't need it as already have it on the I pad so I would have it twice over. Hope that makes sence and look forward to hearing from anyone who could help me out. Cheers KEV

Now that looks a bit more like it Not a lot of info on the App store but as it is free worth a down load a see if it works for us in the uk as it is USA based app I think. Thank you Keven

Have looked at that could work I think it likes a price linked to each item, but you could put a 0 value until the total box.

Hi All Sure this might have been covered, however as some of you have I pad's for a while I was wondering if anyone has a good estimating template they could share or sale on. I am not report writing just estimating up to ten jobs a day four days a week and would like to scale down the paper I use and having to write down spec after spec which a lot of the time can be the same on a lot of our works. Would like something with drop down boxes for tree species and works required and easy app for a site plan would be helpful as well. Some kind of tick box set up would be good for things like hazards on site, nearest hospitals and that kind of thing. Cheers Keven

Hi If any one has pre 97 and fancy's a few days this week I have three or four days then pm me mainly driving and ground work, but must be use to 7.5 ton and chipper. Based in north west Kent near Dartford. Cheers Keven Watt

Hi Mick, Nice to hear from you, you know me put my self about not sure about Hi Guys more like jesus this early for a full English, still think I have picked up a posh school a golf club, work for some of the other members adding up to 1500 to date, not bad for a couple of hours on a Wednesday morning and out the door at 8.30. Not easy getting work theses days and I think we can get stuck in mixing with our own circles for work, this just expands the opportunity for new leads. Be good to see you soon how are things going.

This is our new site hope you like it. Keven Watt – Quality Tree Care Ltd | Professional Tree Surgery Services in London, Kent and Surrey

Hi Billy It's not for everyone and it needs commitment, I join a chapter about two mts ago which is a new chapter which has been going for about a year. You can try before you buy and go twice as a visitor. I did have ideas that it would be all suits but it is not in the chapter I joined, there is a builder, pest control, alarm man , weaste guy, painter and yes some suits insurance guy how has look at my insurance and adviced me very good tax expert and she has adviced and help me all free. I have had work and have jobs on the bubble with applications in just quoted a £1000 hedge job from a client of the painter so not all bad news as some are saying. I would say you need to be open minded and use it to your advantage, my next plan is to have a look at the Bni web site for other chapters in areas local to myself where we as a company are not strong in, I will go as a visitor member and do my 60 second talk as you do every week, then every one in that chapter has my card and know's of my company. I will do this once a month to six weeks and see what it brings. You have to remember only one person from each trade can join a chapter and I believe I am the only tree company in any of the chapters in my area. What also can happen is that any member from other chapters can visit and once again take your card and spread the word in the own group, I also had a call from a member in Reigate chapter who was looking for a tree company and went on the BNI website and once again I am the only one. So as you can see it can grow and grow, it is about being pro-active and giving at at least the year you pay for. Don't get me wrong there are bits of it I am not keen on but I let that go over my head and not take to much notice. To sum up go and visit a few see who is in the room are there people there that could put your name about, remember when they give you a name and number it is a honest lead that has been talked about and someone has asked for it to be passed on. I am lucky I think that the guys and girls at the chapter I joined are a good bunch and we have a laugh as well I hear some are very serious which would not suit me. Cheers Keven
