Hello all,
I want to start my own subcontractor gig for tree services and wanted to gauge if it seems reasonable. I got the idea after a asked me to help clean up after the tree service 'forgot' a huge oak in his yard.
Basically my service would be "the ground guy" to pick up logs and branches from tree removal/pruning jobs.
The benefit to the tree service lies in running a smaller crew and spending less time and fees at the dump/having to bring a dump trailer. This let's the tree service focus what actually generates money. They can leave the debris and get onto the next job.
I'd need to invest in a trailer at the very least so there's some risk involved. OTOH I can resell a trailer if it doesn't pan out but I want to at least get a vague idea whether or not it's worth taking a shot at. I'd be happy to pick up a trailer load for $200 or so.
Is it a service companies would be interested in?
Any thoughts positive or negative are welcomed.
Much thanks.
