Charging to move the wood the cust. is keeping

Learned my lesson

Did a job this weekend and I made the mistake by putting stack on the est. and not pile. Thank goodness it wasn't a big tree.

Some lessons just need to be learned that way.

Hey, just wondering what everyone else does out there. We haven't been but will be for now on going to charge people to move the wood we cut down and cut up for them if they are going to keep it. What do you guys do?

Our proposals are based on how long it will take do the work. Hauling wood requires more time so we charge more for it.

good posts here. i like to use the word "pile" vs. "stack" and in the bid specify "remove all prunings" vs. "remove all debris". I guess someone else basically said what i said, but wanted to repeat it, cause that is what has worked for me.

We say "remove all brush, wood and debris" if we're hauling the wood. We omit the the word wood and make a note that it will be stacked near the stump if the client wants to keep it.
