  1. thats bloody good money for a groundie!!
  2. im not saying theres a personal lack of work,just concerned soon all our big trees will be gone!and that i wouldnt like to be coming out of college into such a saturated market.
  3. scraps been up for the past few years!!i have to dis agree with you slightly,i think its not just cowboys on the increase but legit firms/qualified arborists.its a great job which is why so many want to do it.(i will try and remember that next time im topping conifers in the pouring rain)
  4. rope access workers get loads of dosh with none of the overheads and much less risk,seems less physically demanding(i will now be attacked by rope access types!).might explore it.
  5. i agree,most of my work is recomendation/repeat custom,to start from scratch now would be very very hard.
  6. time to mutate and survive i reckon!
  7. very true:thumbup:
  8. I have been thinking recently about tree work in this country,are we reaching saturation point?with so many people doing it,and more pouring into the industry every year,are we gonna run out of trees to work on?ive been doing it 10 years and long ago lost count of the big trees ive removed,im sure its the same for most.will they all go?can this country sustain so many tree surgeons?or am i being melodramatic?cheers:confused1:
  9. garage pastys aint cheap either!!

  19. hi,it may be a long shot but does anyone know of anyone that can supply two artic loads of cord to taunton?thanks
  20. i doubt many plumbers get asked 'while your here,can you fit a hot tub',or chippies being hassled to knock up a staircase cause they finished sooner than client expects,so why does it happen to us with alarming regularity?
  21. Thats wrong in so many ways,first trading on your good reputation and then probably doin a poor job and ruining your reputation!Its not that hard to find your own work if your halfway decent.
