Wlcome to the turf...
Ward is quite a company... All high end clients fine pruining every tree... sometimes twice a year... I just don't work for people like that.. probably need to change my image and spend less time in front of this screen...
I work more in Wayne, Devon, and Berwyn.. Mostly just when people have a problem... I try to keep my prices as high or higher than Shriner... he's got 15 trucks, prentice loader etc and bought an $850,000 commercial property...
I've been in business over 20 years and the phone rings plenty... but I remember slow times in the last recession and before... Seems like this spring is starting off real slow and prices are tighter than usual..
Glad to hear you set your prices high..

i think also after doing trees for a while you forget how hard some trees look to the average person and tend to put a price on them that they think is ok, well i think a tree removal/prune is ok to do at any price as long as you are happy to do it for what you are receiving some things are hard for some easy for others,you just have to think how hard is it going to be for my oposition
