FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Tree work can be tricky to bid without seeing the trees. The golden measurement that I need to be able to give you a more accurate bid is the tree diameter at breast height (DBH). Take a tape measure, wrap it around the tree at breast height, divide it by 3.14 then multiply by $10. My tree removal price starts at $10/inch. If I have to climb the tree due to any structure beneath the tree that might prevent a simple felling such as a fence or shed I charge more per inch. Sometimes a simple climb won't increase your price much but if I have to lower each branch by a rope system then the price does go up. I always prefer to come look at your trees before I lock in on a price.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I do. I attend classes for arborists, safety classes and I am always reading books and trade articles on new techniques in tree work. I enjoy what I do and learning how to do it better and safer is an enjoyed activity for me and my sons.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have a background in Fire/EMS work and enjoyed training for high angle rescues. Rock climbing was a fun hobby as well so I applied my knowledge from that in tree work. I am the owner of the company and the climber as well. Tree work is hard work and I wanted to have a company that I could teach my sons a love of hard work and a good solid work ethic.
