Some pretty good pics there, make the tree look big, or me look even smaller?? haha Was a reet good day, although I had to supply my own sandwhiches!!! haha. The ground at base was soggy, so I think we decided the row of logs was to spread the load slightly. Pole was felled by Pete (18 stoner) and was textbook. A peach of a day, spot on ground crew, lovely hospitable customer, no broken fences, Jobs a good-un. Thanks to Pete and Mike. Shrek............pick away mate.

Nope, customer forked out around 450 quid an hour.

Tree was down and chipped by 12 oclock. So road was clear for busy school run.

Speed. Simples

Some pics of the final touches of a crane job I just found on my hard drive. This was being overlooked by not just one but 3 tree officers.

Did you get all the brash in your box van????

Can I have a chipper??

If I was ever on watchdog, or rogue traders, i would make a better impression of myself. I mean it would be a bit like free publicity. Like on "Phoenix Nights" when they got Crimewatch in after the fire.

So whens this fricking RA assessment gonna be available, I need it for a job hahaha -
The answer is simple, you have the product, now you need the customers. Thats how it works. Word of mouth is best, so get spreading the word. Tell everyone you meet, flyers / posters / banners between 2 street lamps, whatever floats your boat, just make sure everyone within your desired area knows you are there. Plus, look professional, invoice everything, dont request cash only. Do special offers, like 1 net free with your first order, or one month only specials on bulk amounts, etc etc. Now think for yourself and stop knicking all our ideas haha.Good luck mate.

Go knocking door to door. He lives in wetherby, cant be that big a place haha. Think he may be a member on here???? Or speak to Craig Johnson, he will surely have his number.

Yeah, try and footlock everything at the moment. Practising for comps.

I'll have a bottle of Buckfast please.

Did some pruning and some deadwooding on this "scotty", then 3 months later went back and removed it. Love getting paid twice.
-
Surely dropping 20 odd foot tops out like that would crack the pavement more than a bit of root action. haha. Did you get all done in a day????
-
Duh............Helicopter. Chinnock to be precise.
-
Love the different number plates. Bet VOSA do aswell.

Plus the scaffold gets hired out every other day to any tom, dick, or harry, and has zero maintenance costs. Best member of staff ever. Scaffold scores again hahaha

Ermmmm....................???? Doesn't less cost equal more profit??????
-
I beg to differ. My scaffold tower on wheels could have been pushed down the side of that hedge and the guy pushing could have swept and blown in between. 1 less member of staff, no diesel used, jobs a good-un.
