Pin oak? If you're anywhere near as meticulous as me, you won't make too much on that one. Lol.

Here's one I did earlier this year. And yes, I climbed out of the bucket for a little bit of one side. Lost my ass in the end if looking at it by the hour. Was ready for the arboretum when I finished with it though.

I hate bidding against others in general but especially on pin oaks.

That's a badass looking tree but u might have misunderstood we have 5 thousand trees to trim not 5 thousand dollars worth of trimming... I have a feeling the price tag is well into 6 figures lol

You wouldn't like it up here, Chris. Lol. I had to explain my price on a couple big removals I just priced out for the nuns earlier today. They were actually using my prices from earlier in the year to compare to my current price. I explained that I lost my ass on the last deal, and that this job was still a gift, to some extent. I got the go ahead at my rate in the end. Its ******* brutal though. Lol, I think this was the first time I almost underbid myself!!

So somewhere between $100,000-$999,999

That 2K prune's been topped at some point in its past NC Tree.

Looks that way to my eye anyway.

What is it a pin oak?

It hasn't been topped, maybe lions tailed a few times. I'm hoping to finish it a day and a half but yeah like MDS said ill probably lose my ass. Another guy bid it for half that a year ago and never showed up. I wouldn't either!

Nope I did not price that one, I'll try and dig up pricing info sometimes we trim per inch and sometimes T&M not sure which way this is or if its a straight price,doubt that though.
Good news is its "safety prune" raise clear street lights/signs and big dead

That is a classic in this business. Some dipshit bids about half what the job should be paying trying to make SURE they get it and then never show. I see it here all the time. But then...the Mexicans down here bid them about a fourth of what the the job should pay and they DO show up...only to make a mess.

 

[treeclimber101]

Amazing can't tell the species but know it been topped already

 

[no tree to big]

I'm not entirely convinced it was topped, I have one in my front yard very similar that's never been touched at all. Dunno don't care

??? How can you tell from that picture?

You do realize the picture is cropped right? That flat top is due the picture not being big enough, correct?

 

[NCTREE]

Like I said it's never been topped just lions tailed. It had some damage from a snow storm about 3 years ago which is why it's so bushy.

Lol. Just got a slideshow text from a newer customer that we've already done a ton of work for. Big old sugar maple in front yard fell apart in a storm last night. Lol, I told him it was going down.. didn't take but a couple months. Guess he knows I'm not full of it now. I've been driving by this thing after the storms come through waiting for this

I should be a "certified tree risk assessor". That wood is actually huge, gonna be a nice little project.

 

[KenJax Tree]

Lol the little pile of wood and splitter in that big mess

He (new yorker) wanted to keep the wood from the last lead that blew out. Now he says he doesn't want any of it. That's literally as far as he got, one log on the splitter. I bet he couldn't start it (rental). Lol, told him I'd sell him a cord while we're at it.

Jesus Helen Keller could see that tree wasn't long for this world ! Goo work Mr risk asskisser
