jwalker, I dont know you, but I have read a lot of your posts. I know your a good guy and you want to be fair, but you should really consider increasing your prices drastically. You provide a great service, and pretty much risk your life on every tree you cut. Will some people turn you down, yes, but you will make it up for charging more for less work. I think most of your clients will gladly pay whatever you quote them, because we damn sure arent going to climb that tree ourselves and take it down.
