I will never, by choice anyway, stack brush, chainsaw chip, or use any other medieval technique for dealing with branches as long as I have a chipper. Except for a fire of course.

How is it more efficient?

Easy work, just make sure it's an appropriate species and the right time of year to plant. Make sure you plant them well, big enough hole, irrigation, well staked etc. Not rocket science. Good money.

Safety hazard maybe, time waster, no.

Good question, a lot depends on species, how carefully you stack the brush, and if you "rasher" it down. Somewhere between 3 and 6 times I reckon.

About 4 minutes into using my first chipper I knew that was it. It's a quantum Leap forward.

Well done.

The more people dropping trees on houses/cars etc. (Especially if it's in the paper) The more I can charge.

My insurance is $1000 bucks a year, in a country with no licence needed to run a tree co. Seems reasonable to me.

Nothing wrong with them, makes the rest of us look good.

Sounds like a pita.

You don't have to be licenced be a tree company, here or in the U.K. It's the land of the free!

I didn't explain very well. The fencing company is already in the garden talking to the client. They're pricing a fence, either a tree(s) is in the way and they offer to remove it or as a garden service the client says "do you do trees as well? as I want this one out" It's not really much of a...

They just hire a climber.

In the U.K. Where you live cheek by jowl, You take out a hedge, grind the stump then throw up a fence. It's a good triple earner. At least if you can, my fencing is, well not up to standard. I stick to what I can do.

Trees and fencing go hand in hand in the U.K. Many good companies do both.

Certainly a situation I'm familiar with. I'd be lying if I said I'm in that zone now, but, yes, I spent many years scrapping and fighting for whatever was about. I could well find myself back there soon. I wish I could give you some sage advice, don't move to France is about all I can...

Plus there's assumptions that anyone cheaper than them is a corner cutting cowboy who devalues the industry, anyone more dear is a rip off merchant who gives us all a bad name.

There's a similar thread on AT about wages (there always is!) I rarely contribute because there's no point. There is no ideal fair price for a job or an idéal fair wage. It's what the client/boss is prepared to pay, market forces and all that. The simple fact is (where all factors are equal)...

Yes, I remember all the gear v.harrison had. Very impressive. I'm sure she knows her pricing. Regarding osha as you call it. The French equivalent is the same. They find it difficult to corner treecos because they're in different places every day. They'd have to follow them from the yard to...
