I assume we were talking about newly planted trees. So your not going to have high volume of root growth beyond the dripline. Older trees, yes. I like apply fert. 10-15' past the dripline.

Fert. vs Vertical mulching With newly planted trees, don't fert. for as least 8-12 months. Simple rule of thumb, after waiting period, is 1" in diameter ='s 1lb. of fert. for 5" diameter and over. 1/2 lb. under 5". Apply amount halfway from base of tree, to dripline. Use broadcast method...

Carbide chain I use it regularly for root pruning. Get about 100' before I have to resharpen. 400'- then it's toast. Cost $135. for a 24" loop. But I charge $10 per foot. It's hard work.

They pulled out over 70,000 cu. yds. within that time frame. Seminole country probadly had as least...

ATV Log dolly looks like it performs real well, but for speed and power, you can't beat an ATV. I'm on my 3rd one in 15 years. Need a 300cc or better w/4 wheel drive. I also have 3 trailers to go w/it when jobs require different parameters.

YP works for me Then try to use ISA's logo w/your chapter, in the ad. Also, if you're paying that kind of $$- you should be able to get a listing under " Arborist" for free. Glad I don't live in TX. P.S. I just bought a new Hobie Mirage Outback kayak-I love it! It's a no-hands-mobility.

YP works for me $500 is a chunk of change for just one ad per month. That needs to be half. Are you ISA Cert.?

YP works for me I've been a yp sub. for @ least 18 yrs. I've tried other advertising, but all my new customers(85%) found my name from the yp. And $360 is way too much when you're just starting out in the business. I pay $143 in 2 books per month. I cover 2 counties. What really attracts...

I stop to stop topping Every chance I get when I see a topped tree either residental or commerial, I stop and drop off the ISA brochure-'Why topping hurts trees'. Good information can't hurt. Also, it has my company info on the back.

Mangroves have many 'prop roots' which make walking and moving equip. difficult.(go to mangrove.org to see pics). Then you've got the water to contend with.It is alot of hand work.

Yes, they are protected. I permit roughly 6-10 a year with 2nd stage pruning the following year. (Can only trim them annually)But I charge $1500. aday w/travel time. And yes, it is the most physically demanding tree work there is in this neck of the woods. Plus I charge $350-500 for pulling the...

Is anyone out there a PMT? (Professional Mangrove Trimmer) Being an ISA cert. arborist, Florida's Dept. of Enviromental Protection recognizes us as one who they want to trim and permit for mangroves.

PI I'm allergic to PI like alot us are. I always carry over-the-counter rubbing alchol. As soon as I know I've come in contact with it, I pour it directly on the areas. It cuts the oil. Also, try spraying on anti-perspirant before you start working.
