How much work is too much? How long will clients wait?
gibbon replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
I am in exactly the same boat. 3 men, 2 trucks 2 chippers. We have work booked 6-8 weeks from Jan, but I wont commit to extra labour untill I sus the new year out. Most people can be convinced to wait so long as its done before spring sas long as they know they are getting a good job and its going to happen before the buds break. I would rather miss out on a few "can you do it next week?" jobs than put extra guys on the books only to lay them off in spring -
Thanks. I could fill another 200 pages with some of the shots I have. This one is good though. Pruning some huge Tipo trees in a prestigous garden in Argentina this summer.

This was my first crane job a couple of years ago. 120foot tall 12foot diameter. Took 1/2 a day to de-brash and about half a day with a 90tonne crane. I was glad to be a subbie back then so didn't get involved in the clear up

This is my first post but I wanted to share this shot. I was joined by a large troop of baboons while measuring some trees earlier in the year. They were pretty aggressive at first but soon got pretty chilled.
