I think going after smaller jobs that bigger companies (with big equipment, large crews, an higher overhead) aren't interested in going after fills a niche in the marketplace, and there is nothing wrong with growing your business that way. Your skill as a salesperson is at least every bit as important as the equipment you run or your level of skill. It is a sad truth that I realized late in this game, cause for many years I always priced my work too damn cheap.
yes ther is a market for jobs that the big equipment dont want to wast ther time on
just the other day I was on this job
it was turnd down by three other tree compenys why would thay not want this job? is climbing becoming a lost art ?
that was the first thing I learnd and went to take classes from pro climbers working in tree care
than spent good hard earnd money on good gear and rigging equipment
on this job what is not able to be sean in the pics is that this house sets on a hill the drive way is at a good 35dagree slope its in califorina so no snow and thers concreat steps and planter boxes all over the lawn so you cant have joe the 300lbs skidstear driver just waddel up and grabe it with the skid we got the job compleated in one day with two guys all wood removed and chips taken away evan cleand up some green wast from flower beds and placed it in ther green wast ben
this is not uncomen to find and in many newer housing tracks ther is just very small driveways and housing lots are so close that if you park anything more than 30 ft long you blocking the next lots driveway
maybe hard work is a lost art as well because I just saw two large newer chipper trucks with boom lift
and brushbandet 250 chippers along the road in a drit parking lot veary large plywood signs connected togather to make a sign tree triming 30% off
hmmm close to half a millon dollers worth of equipment in a dirt lot next to the road i dont want my investment setting just out in the middel of nowhere begging to be put to use
