remember me and my mate was doing some work for the council in the woods over a footpath. we conned it off, put barrier tape round, i was on the ground, highly visible, keeping an eye on my mate as well as around me, even though their was another footpath 10ft that goes around where we was working which was safe enough for the public to use, it amazed me how many people just seemed to ignore, tree cutting signs, me, cones, barrier tape, truck parked in the middle of the path, flashing light going, hazards on, you would think you would be seen... BUT NOPE! people tried to keep coming through and under the barrier tape! AMAZING!

So to all you dog owners, what kinda dog you got? whats its name? and do you take it to work with you? Lets try and get some pics as well!

Just thought id ask the question... you have been with the same company for 3 years, you are reliable, very little time off through the year, decent local knowledge of locations, you can drive a tipper and tow, you get on in all weathers, basically, how much would you pay a day rate, employed for someone like this? Qualifications... basic first aid at work nptc 30,31,36&38 and will be doing cs39 this year. thanks guys

tar mate, gives me a little idea to go on. thanks for your help

welcome to the forum! thats the best start mate.. try and get in with a local arb firm afterwards as well and get to know the industry. You will soon get to know the do's and dont's! but a great bit of advice, when your a groundie, just support your climber as and when, your his eyes and ears, and dont spend all day on your mobile phone whilst at work. Wont win many fans that way... work hard and be safe and accept to work in all weathers!

Hi guys... Just testing the water a bit to see if its worth going self employed or just staying employed for now.. I am 28, nearly 29, married with some years experience now, with many aspects of tree surgery and i have references available should anybody wish to see. Basically i have the following N.P.T.C. Units: CS 30 - 31A & 31B, 36 & 38. Am doing my CS39 at B.T.S. Suffolk next week. {9th May} i have been in and out of arb since 2003, but have been back in arb full time since 2008. I work for a small arb company in Norfolk, got a full clean driving licence, inc able to tow, and i have BASIC FIRST AID at work certificate too. i have my own saw { 038 } but i do not currentley have my own P.P.E. but am setting up to do so. If i may be of assistance to anyone how ever big or small a job may be, be great to hear from you.

im kinda thinking along the same lines as you treetop1, but agree with skyhuck, very hard at the moment, i just got some simple buisness cards made up, for friends and family, that spread kinda well, but word of mouth is the best way and its free! but keep at it if you really want it mate. Im saving hard for my own gear, not easy atall at the moment, but my attitude is.. Rome wasnt built in a day... best of luck mate.

Very well said mate!

tar mate...long story short, got 2 connifer trees to take 10ft out of each, but the customer cant really see the height that would be removed, i dont mind quoting for the job but get the feeling she will want more here and their even when i have taken 10ft out....
