What would an acceptable rate $/hr for a novice C.A
xtremetrees said:Are you Certified?
If so C.A's can command as much as $125.00 hr just for looking at trees and consulting with homeowners.
Free Estimates-- I dont do it. If they ask for free estimates theyare price shopping and really dont care about trees, I dont want customers like that.
Even thou I am considerably less expensive than my competiors they will never know it.

Davey guys top and climb with spikes no matter, here in BC. Now, does being a C.A. really mean anything? Depends, for putting the shine on clients it sounds good, for climbing trees and actually working, hmmm. A man with climbing experience is worth way more than a beginner, ISA or not. Get out there and do some work, day after day, for a couple of years, then you can say "I am a good climber and I am ISA certified". Xtreme trees "a buck an hour-what a farce" How about thats all its really worth?Dadatwins said:Find a company that is licensed, insured, and does quality work, non-spike trims, no topping, the bigger companies will usually all start you at the bottom end of the pay scale until they see what you can do.

tree planter are you asking for a consult that you do yourself or are you looking for company wages as other guys have said?Tree Planter said:What would an acceptable rate $/hr for a novice C.A
