Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any decent contracts from LinkedIn in or is it a waste of time?

201, 400 and 500 👍

More than likely, although could be a buckeye of some sort

Jesus christ, this post has turned into another dogs abortion.

Just a thought, but have you tried speaking to a few folk on social media? There's quite a few female owned/led Arb businesses out there that are doing well. Maybe try and get a bit of networking going?

As above, you'll need someone to have a proper look at that. There's quite a lot of reactionary growth over the included bark at the union

Don't think you'll do any harm. Ideal time is summer months.....repairs whilst still growing etc. But some folk cut during the winter where it repairs in the spring. Yews pretty hardy

I changed career at 38 into full time tree work (worked on and off/seasonal for 12 years or so). Wouldn't look back, you can make good money working for yourself, wish I'd done it 20 years ago.

Downloaded. Whats the monthly fee likely to be?

The Royal navy used to carry pine needles in the hulls to brew up with to stop scurvy, rather than limes (limeys) pound for pound, there's more vitamin c in pine needles than citrus fruit

I've done my level 2 via ABC and like you I'm looking at booking my ISA this year. You can also become arb certified by going through the level 2 and submitting something like 8 Lantra tickets to the RFS, maybe worth looking into? I think going through the process of either or both gives you a better all round understanding of the biology of trees, soil etc and more likely to get work from clients as you understand what you're talking about....the same with prospective employers.

Thoughts on this one, please?

public liability and plant insurance
Excels1or replied to wood cutter's topic in Business Management
Who did you get quotes from? We've had a time of it trying to change insurers this year. We've been with Hiscox/tower for 3 years. NFU told us unless we have an existing plan with them, they're not taking on new tree companies due to the risk. Arborisk didn't pick up their phones despite a number of emails. Tried a few brokers with no luck, ended up thinking better the devil you know, and stayed with current. We've never made a claim. -
Recommendations for arb body installations around Hertfordshire

As above comments, it'll be far cheaper to get an aluminium frame built and bolted to the tipper bed, then faced with ply/thin sheet steel -
Boys don't grow up, their toys just get more expensive 😂

Good idea, a list of pros and cons 👍

For garden clearances being able to scrape would be a bonus. Removing small stumps without having to stump grind as well as having the ability to dig. I'm also wondering if a digger would give us more maneuverability when stacking lengths and rounds. I've used the Sherpa 500 quite a bit and its brilliant, just seen a lot of folk in the arb industry going towards the mini digs. Seems a mini dig does everything a Sherpa would do but also has the versatility for other jobs?
-
Cheers Mark, mostly domestic, but we also do quite a bit of garden and woodland clearances, so its starting to get rough on our bodies on longer jobs
-
Been looking at buying a skid for a while now (sherpa due to closest supplier) but the more I think about it the more a mini digger with a log grab would maybe suite us better....more versatility etc. anyone got any advice? Tried both? Thanks in advance

Thats a good job around these parts 😂 -
Emerald Green Arborvitaes - Brownish Yellowing
Excels1or replied to groverson's topic in Tree health care
Looks like the brown needles are mostly on the inside? Its normal for conifers/evergreens to shed their needles in autumn/fall -
Yes its recognised. Once you've completed the level 2 and acquired a certain number of practical tickets (8 from memory) you can apply through the RFS for your certified Arborist certification. Its also worth looking at the ISA, its more popular in America but its gained some traction and is recognised over here. For the ISA you'll need to prove 3 years work experience or 4 years (i think) studying; degree, HND etc
