It's even a little slower in Los Angeles (the OTHER LA) We are staying booked up 3-5 days out. I hate it. I can relax when it's 2 weeks out love nick

Disagree. That's the most common way to do it. And that's kind of my point. The easy money is in removals. There is a more clear cut understanding by the clients. The big wood is heavy and they understand why it costs $1,000 to move it. It's physically more challenging, riggingly more...

Depends on how you define pressure. There is less mass, but there is a lot of pressure. Everyone expects perfection. We've got to deliver on that. I think it's less dependent on your position in the company and more on who you are as an individual.... love nick

Ive been sending out bids-by-pics for a couple months now. Here's my rules: If I don't like the pics, I ask for more Even if I think I get a good idea of what's going on, I bid 50% higher than my hunch AND tell them it's a range to give me cushion for mistake. For example, if the pics tell me...

Today we did a job pruning an oak and cleaning up some giant birds of paradise. I bid the job based off pics and google maps. It's the way of the future! This is the third job we've done this way and it's worked like a charm every time! Today's was $1,000 and we did it after doing a small $350...

Here was our patient for the day. Id post and after pic, but it looked the same after. Just deadwooding and getting it off the house. love nick

This was in no way price gouging. We were the lowest bid price, in fact! Though the tree wasn't big, the hill was super steep. Initially the plan was to rig tons of small pieces and hand carry them down the steep hill, have someone climb a ladder pass the log to someone standing on a ladder...

I overbid a redwood removal. I got nervous because of the steepness of the hill. $3,200. Client hired us. We took it out today. Took me and one other guy 4 hrs. Highest hourly wage ever!! love nick

We did three jobs today, but the last was my favorite. I established a central leader in a Floss Silk tree (Chorisia speciosa). Here's what the tree looked before: And when I was done The tree was about 25' tall only took about 30 minutes to do but I charged $300 because few companies...
