It was a wonderful week! Worked in trees mon-thur and today its checking up on equipment, and some light paperwork to finish the week. Maybe picking up a walk-behind stump grinder when I pick up my chipper. Have another long job coming up next week. That will be nice. Another large silver maple over hanging a house and dying, with little access.
Oh and I have noticed since I have started this business, most of the trees we have been removing are silver maples. Is this common? I know they grow rapidly, and shed just as fast, so it makes sense. But it would seem as if many are in very bad locations (power lines, very close to homes, garages, sheds or a combination of them). Some of these tree have been topped before as well, something we will not do, and makes them harder to work with. I price the estimates accordingly depending the hazards involved and the time I think it will take to safely remove the tree. I have priced myself out of a few trees. On the other side of that, I have driven by a few of the trees we didnt get, and they are still standing. Others are not.
The first pic is of the second tree we did for the "handy man" service that subed us out and they are to the left cleaning up the job from the day before.
