Go big or go home.
Hello i have been a long time lurker of this site. i have a quick question. I run a Tree Service with my father he has been climbing since the early 70's and i of course love the work and want to follow in the footsteps. My question is some of the season is slow around this part of the country and i have a friend who does small landscraper (yes landscaper) projects. I know tree work and landscaping have nothing to do with each other. I am simply helping him with some of his projects while i have some down time. He wants me to get an Independent Contractors License. In my state as far as i know you do not need a ICL to do tree work. (Yes i know a Certified Arborist is directly related to tree work) I have lots of tree equipment but nothing to do with general landscaping, therefore i do not care to get a Independent Contractor License since i am not interested in doing landscape projects unless i help my friend out. So i was hoping for some input. i dont want the government breathing down my back more than i need ya know! I already keep logs of all my projects and paperwork for my tree biz and am legit. I dont want to do more paperwork and risk my business just for his benefit. What do you all think? Thanks much!!
