Is all florida tree work on hold?
checked most of the services in broward and it looks like most are not even hireing arborists now. Well since I am going in blind I just might have to rely on the obama technique of scouting support door to door.People used to tell me that there was no work in the high desert,proved them wrong for 26 years,why not try expanding in an area where trees actually grow?
thanz for the feedback....tree work until I croak....retirement is for Doris Day!

Hey Robdog, why not just buy me out and you'll have a turn-key operation with an impeccable reputation for quality and top notch employees and equipment. Seriously, make me an offer.

Good luck bro. A friend of mine who had a successful tree business in FLA has cashed out and is moving back to Mass. He claims the market for tree work there started shitting the bed about three years ago....

Thanks for the kind words.

Rolling?
Well I wouldnt say that .I have been doing some consultant work for two golf courses. Funny when a supervisor sees that little arborist cert they automatically think you are wise to the trees where ever you are. Working on setting up some condo association contract deals but so far I have been back and forth three times working out a crew.Slow then go.

One should be familiar with the trees one is working with. It's not unreasonable for them to expect that.

How skilled is your crew? Or will you find out after they do a few condo jobs?

hey rob,
dont worry about all the negative responses, it's the competetive nature of business;
and after all, if youre going into other tree guys neighborhoods, youre gonna hear them complain,
hell i bitch when i see tree clowns from so cal up here to do pg&e hazard removals
really, try to come up here, and i know for sure there would be whinning and bitching, back stabbing etc, its just business and ego put together
so i wish you luck , try not to bottom out the market in your new neighborhood, and stick to isa standards and ya may do ok with your new location,
and for everyone whos neighborhood rob is marching into, just wait and see what happens,

Treeguy I get ya.The whole thing about comming into another mans territory is touchy.I went through that when I first started in 1982.No matter who or where you try to make a living someone isnt not going to be too happy with your presence in their city.The fact is that there is enough work for every good climber and his crew.If I can sell the Job or if not I will work.Anyone who really wants to make a living wont begrudge a man for a vacation home right? appreciation granted!

I've worked 3 days this month, none of the 20-30 companies I work with have any work and I'm trying to get hooked up on some storm work or EAB abatement work in MA right now in order to cover my bills and not go deeper in debt in order to buy food. But yeah, I'm sure you can come down here and hire a couple guys off the street and sell enough work to buy a retirement home here without actually having to break a sweat. :roll:
