Its easy to waste money on Google ads if you don't know what you're doing. And its expensive to get an external company to run campaigns for you......we use an external company and at the moment we're around £35 per lead due to most other tree surgeon companies also advertising. Can be a bit of a minefield but does repay if you're willing to shell out initially.

Where in Scotland are you based? I'd be interested, think your sentimental bowls are a really good idea

Yeah, second above, cordyline are basically unchippable. You hear a lot of the guys in the states tackle them top down when dismantling

Work out what your running costs are and % profit needed for the business, then price jobs accordingly. Dont fall into the trap of being a "busy fool". Get a good accountant, they may seem expensive, but a decent one will save you more money than they cost. Be upfront and don't be afraid to put your foot down with clients. Best of luck, 21 is a great age to start your own operation 👍

Right to prune branches when it destabilizes tree.
Excels1or replied to treelover123's topic in Trees and the Law
Always thought its strange that you can prune a tree back to the boundary but when you apply to the council if the trees TPO'd or in a conservation area the council document says to make sure all work is compliant with 3998.....a lot of the time you cant prune back to a growth point/branch collar -
My Mrs is a surveyor specialising in Business rates. You're apparently better calling the accessors they'll tell you if its currently got an RV on it and what its currently assessed at

Should you be loading docs with clients details/contacts on?

You don't turn pollards back into normal trees, but you can try and turn topped trees back into normal trees

Does this pear tree have a disease?
Excels1or replied to ClueLess60's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Could be Scold, could be fungal. If you pruned it hard I'd have expected it to yield more fruit, see how it produces this year as pears can skip a year. Prognosis doesn't look good in the long run as there's visible delamination, however as its a small tree which is still going into leaf means there's Cambium hanging in there -
