Need some advice. As I sit now I am a Certified arborist, have my pesticide license, CDL, associates in turfgrass management, bachelors in plant and soil. I love climbing and I'm pretty good. Plant health care/turf care is my strongest capability and what interests me most, but I love pruning/removals too. Been working in the tree industry since I was 14/15, with a 3 year pit stop on high end golf courses participating in construction projects.
I have the opportunity to take over my fathers tree service within the next 5 years or so. Besides me he lacks anyone with any sort of tree/landscape competency, CDL or any sort of certifications, just lazy brush draggers. The costs and head aches of running a tree/landscape business seem like they outweigh the financial reward. I would absolutely love to be a second generation business owner and run a successful tree and turf care company, and will inherit a lot of equipment (none of which have a loan on them). I've seen the headaches and struggles from the inside, just don't know if its really worth it. Any advice helps. Thanks fellas
