You think thats bad. Last year priced a job tree was in a conservation area, it would have been best part of a day to do logs and chip away. Quoted £475, Tree Officer quoted against me £270 how can he do that then?

it might pay to locate the lower pin in the center of the blade to avoid loading the the ram on one side,just a thought might be wrong. Excellent idea

I know what you mean sometimes they think we are there to be their skivvy for the day. I had one customer that wanted a tree report on 20 plus trees on a neighbours boundary. I gave them a price for the report, reply from the customer was we did not want to pay for it you've only got to write something out in case we have to go to court

A few threads have mentioned how we end up doing more work for no extra cash. the rules i try and stick with are for example 1/ give a written quotation with an hourly rate for extra work 2/ Never say exactly how many days it will take, (if you do the customer will find you extra work for no extra cost or ask for a reduction in your fee) 3/ when carrying out a crown reduction, don't clear up until you have finished, and before you clear up call the customer to have a look at the finished tree they will see all the material you have cut off, quite often they don't ask for any more to be cut, still get stitched up by customers when i forget these rules, Anyone got any other tips

good link can use them on courses,
-
never tell the customer how long it will take, if they ask give them an approximate time and say it depends on witch climbers Staff i bring with me on the day. give a written quotation for the work discussed and additional cost £ per hour for extra work. printed clearly
