i agree, there ALL 2 faced, forked tongues,lying, bent, money grabbers. Don't matter who gets in they all pee in the same pot!

Like i said, i have a min charge normally 50 quid or so but the per inch charge is a rough gestimate way of pricing, if it was say 36" across the widest point and it was say a pop stump i might drop it a bit to say 85 quid, it just gives you a guide to work from and as has been said saves driving round looking at stumps if you havnt taken the tree down in the first place. I also never charge for a new set of teeth per job like some i have heard of, i grind them up on a regular basis.
-
I price per inch, £3 per inch say on one stump but if there is loades i lower the price or it gets silly that way i get a min amount and im not going out for 30 quid, price per inch is good as Dave said it means you can give a rough price over the prhone and saves loades of miles to look at a crappy stump. I give customers the measurments i need to get access, so far not had a problem. I dont mind knocking a few quid of tree/landscape work but not grinding, the machines are to expensive and maintanance intensive to use for nowt. If there local say 3 miles i will pop out and have a look, any further that that and its over the blower.

Chances are there peeing up your back, got a quote for 200 quid but didnt go for it as the bloke didnt seem to know what he was on about but then go for a quote thats even cheaper! Forget it, the guy is working for nowt and the customers are getting a bargain and are full of sh1t.

Don't think its just tree guys that know what to nick! the local chav druggies know exactly what to nick and how easy it is to get rid of.
