Hi all!
Bob here, aka: Xtra.
I'm interested in starting my own tree service here in NJ.
My formal background is in marketing business software but I've spent many summers doing landscaping and as a tree ground guy. Well, I was laid off from my marketing job (after 10 years being cooped up in an office) and so began working full-time for a tree business to clear my head . . . I had forgotten how much I liked working outside. That was 2 years ago and now the tree business bug has really got me. The guy I work for is a real hack so, I've decided to take some ArborMaster classes to see what I've been missing out on.
I really want to start out right and grow a real business not just a part-time pickup & saw deal. My stepbrother runs a large landscaping business and is willing to sub me for all his tree work, which should help get me started.
(sorry, for the long background babble)
This site has great information!
I hope you won't mind my occasional newbie questions.
First question:
So, how do you tie this thing called a "bowline"????
(only joking)
- Bob
