Hello, wanted to know if it was common for anyone else to work with customers on there trees. Homeowner wants a quote to get five large maples down with the fee based on knock down only. I can drop one easy but the others will all require lots of rigging with no bucket access. I like the idea,all the fun with none of the mess to clean up afterwards. I pointed out my concerns to him as far as safety goes. I prefer not to drop limbs on customers Talked to him about doing the work in stages to give him time to clear the area before dropping so many of the limbs to make it a dangerous trip hazard for him to navigate with his chainsaw. He wanted me to do the work alone but I pointed out the importance of a qualified groundworker and the liability I would not be willing to assume with him trying to do the job. I told him I would get back to him this coming week. I would say that about a 1/3 of my quote for a job is the cleanup. Let me know what you fellas think. Deal or no deal
