So i'm new to getting rid of waste in the UK. I was speaking to a gardener and he told me that un mulched branches are classed as a waste product and that you need a waste license to get rid of these at green waste sights. Is that correct? So as a tree surgeon without a chipper, will I be needing a waste license to get rid of everything other than timber? What setups do people use when operating without a chipper? Obviously the plan is to buy one as soon as possible but for now its just gunna be a hussle! Cheers

Are there schemes in place that have the apprentice working for said amount of days per week and studying at college for a day? With the work experience counting towards the qualifications? Or is it just straight up standard employment?
-
Has anyone ever employed someone as an apprentice? Is that possible in this line of work?

What!!! I cant get 150 a day as a self employed climber!!!

So whats the going hourly/day rate for a groundie nowadays? Got no idea what to pay someone. I guess we could say there's roughly 3 wage brackets here. Zero experience, Moderate experience and amazing make my life a breeze experience....its probably best to have an idea for each as i'm not sure who ill hire yet. I live in the Bristol area as that obviously plays a part in the wage as well. Maybe.

Its about time I start learning the Latin names of these trees really. Starting to get embarrassing..... Anyone got any tricks to help them stick?

thanks

Cant figure out what this one is. Sure its obvious knowing me....

What about professional indemnity? I dont see people talk so much about that here. Just as important?
-
So what do most people choose? Im just about to get quotes from both Arborisk and Trust for public liability, employers liability and possibly tool cover. I've read on here a good ratio is PL 5m EL 10m and tool cover 25k. I have minimal tools so may skip all together but does the rest sound good? Also how many of you guys opt for personal injury cover? have you ever needed it and if so has it been really worth it, (do they pay out)?

Im starting out in the UK and will need to freelance climb whilst slowly starting my business. What are the best ways some of you find freelance work in the UK? I will be in and around Bristol

So im just starting out with an old VW LT 35 (below), and need a cheap option for some kind of higher sides. Im not going to be chipping into it as I have no chipper or money for a chipper or tow bar..... However I still need to cram it full so higher sides is a must. Ive seen people somehow stick ply boards either side but never been able to look up close to see how its done. Any advice appreciated!

Hey can anyone point me to a post or website that documents the process of dealing with a protected tree. If I want to prune or fell a protected tree for a client whats the whole procedure? Also how do I find out if a tree is protected?

So I've just moved back to the UK having worked 4 years abroad in Canada Germany and Australia climbing trees. I want to start working for myself here in the UK but obviously all my pricing knowledge has been gained abroad. I want to get a bit of an idea what you guys are pricing jobs at. I know there's a lot that goes into it, (Expertise, Man power, Overheads, Local Area, Wear n Tear, Waste ect), but any input will help me form a better understanding of what I can get away with. Ill be starting on my own with just a truck, climbing kit, and a few saws (no chipper). Luckily my overheads are minimal. What do guys in a similar position roughly charge per hour for removals, pruning, hedge trimming or whatever you can think of? Or what would your average full, 8-10 hour work day roughly bring in?

Hey guys. Im planning on moving to the UK after having been away for 5 years, to start a tree business. Having not trained in the UK I have zero idea what insurances and licenses I will need. I will be starting out by myself at first bringing in a spare hand when needed. No chipper. Hopefully a trailer, pick up, saws and climbing gear. What would you recommend as the bare bones minimum requirements with regards to licenses and insurance. It would be great to have it all in one post. Im kind of lost right now. Cheers

Has anyone successfully emigrated to Canada for tree work? I want to know how easy it is and what the best options would be regarding visa's and sponsorship. Im leaving in a few months for canada and have a work permit for two years but will probably want to live there permanently. With regards to qualifications and experience I have all NPTC tickets minus rigging and 3 years climbing experience.
