That's a great book sitting there next to you! The Fundamentals of General Tree Work is a great source of info or for reference. Good info in this video, I was curious about how to bid jobs and you brought some real insight to the topic so thanks for that!
This gave me quite an education . Thank you Sir . My budget squeaks and $0.00 income insight . I'm doing my best with branches/ cleanup .Hoping to trade a large healthy Walnut for removal of 2 smaller trees with roots ground out too. GOD knows , I am not able 🕯
A tree can have eletric lines around it, doesn’t matter, some areas you can’t turn power off due to the location it will inconvenience too many residents. Also waiting for them to do something on time is a nightmare in our srea logistics wise.
Thankyou Kenny. This is very informative and its rare to hear tree advice on bidding jobs. Agree 100% with everything you said and learned a few things. Thankyou. Hope you stay safe with all the hurricane work.
Could you make a video about how to get your first tree job and how to turn that into more leads. I think that's would be a great video and information for guys just starting out. Great video/information as always! We appreciate you.
Do you good work at fair prices and you’ll be super busy. Don’t be the cheap guy, do the job right the first time, and if you mess up fix it as soon as possible and make it right for the client. Business is simple, we tend to complicate things more than we have to, or look for the magic pill but there’s none. Also, it is not for everyone, a good tree guy can be mediocre business owner, know yourself.
I was trying to get a quote over the phone and this is informative knowing how much goes into why they couldn’t do it over the phone. But if you even explained this as to why I couldn’t get a quote I would hire you. But it would be nice to be able to give a ball park of possible price over the phone if I answer a few questions. I.e size of tree? Near a house or two? Road space/ traffic? Up a hill or flat road? Health of tree? And the clean up portion? Etc. If there was a form for people to answer valuable questions and then be able to determine a pre quote. Then you guys can be like “hey from what I gathered without seeing the tree itself I’d say 1,000 - 5,000 but now come out to make sure” etc. That be super helpful for the customer. We could even send a photo too. Just something for us customers to get a pre estimate before a full estimate from a inspection. Idk if that is possible. But it would be nice. 😊
This will be easier if doing a roof or installing a fence etc. There are ao many variables when it comes to the process of removing a tree that just a few basic questions will only give a very large range in pricing $200-4k for example. Best to get a few in person quotes, over bidding or under bidding over pictures is just as much time wasted as going to provide an acurate in person quote.

Thank you Kenny! Very informative video. I’m currently house shopping in Winston Salem and some have pretty tall trees on the property. I know you’re near Raleigh, so I doubt you’d service Triad area, but please let me know if you can recommend someone you trust for tree removal. I’m planning to do estimate appointments around the same time as inspection, and prior to closing on the house.
Thank you for your input. This is the reason why you hire a professional and not try do it yourself or hire some fly by cheap company. Do your research, know what you want done and it will get done to your needs and safely. Thanks for watching, we hope you have an amazing day.
@@KennysTreeRemoval Just asking dude! Thought it was a fair question. I do commercial refrigeration and residential A/C work. When I install a system, I get a sizable deposit to cover the cost of the equipment. I don't know how it works in the tree care world I love running saws and cutting down trees. I'm originally from the Pacific North West and from a family who worked in the logging industry. But now located in N AZ I do appreciate that you replied Thanks I'd like to add tree removal to my services. I have done two jobs so far. I didn't ask for deposits, as I had nothing to pre purchase.
I dislike companies who ask for a deposit, it shows someone who is worried about not being paid fully when the job is completed, it shows someone who maybe is not confident that they will complete the job as promised to the client and again not being able to get their money due to lack of quality of work and unhappy client, and finally it shows you are a mess as business owner not having enough capital to sustain your business daily activities. Just my 2 cents, I know plenty of companies who charge deposit, and also know plenty of people who had horrible experiences with companies who charged a deposit and never completed the job and simply walked away.
I have a huge oak tree on my property, right next to the road, power line runs through the branches and the house is close too. I guess it would cost me a fortune to remove it 😩
@@themadhatterxxx yea the electric company came out to our place and fell a huge just dead oak that was next to the line to the house. They came prepared to dice it up w lift and all, but just knocked it down n didnt chargè anything
Hey Kenny how are you man I been watching your greats videos and I wanna ask how much to charge oak and pine trees? I am in Florida starting a landscape and tree service
It varies by tree type, size and height. Average in chicago area is 1000 to 2000 per tree. I got 3 70ft elms with a 30ft crab tree removed w stumps for $3500. I called 9 or 10 different companies to get estimates. Most wanted 2000 to 3000 per tree, but I just wasnt paying that much. Heres my logic, crew make 25 per hour per guy. Crew of 3 guys get 250 per day = 750 labor per day. Tack on another 1500 for equipment and profit and you get 2250 for one tree. Add 1000 for each tree and that should give you a rough price. Note that the more trees you have to remove, the lower the price. Also, depending on the trees you have, the company may give you a discount because they make money off the trees.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information with us. It was very informative and needed.

Great stuff Kenny! Everyone needs to hear this stuff.
Ty
Great honest Video!! Thank you sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Good vid, thanks
You’re welcome! Is there a reason you like your own comments?
@@KennysTreeRemoval Huh? I thought it "helped" you algorithm for YT.
I think it does, just wondering, I’ve seen a few people doing it.
Any tree that has electric lines running around it, the customer needs to call their electric company. Can’t believe you didn’t mention that
A tree can have eletric lines around it, doesn’t matter, some areas you can’t turn power off due to the location it will inconvenience too many residents. Also waiting for them to do something on time is a nightmare in our srea logistics wise.
Why would you call the electric company? What are they going to do?

Try Abormax, they are out of Raleigh but service a large demographic than we do.
Good stuff !
Great video

Kenny about ur insurance, Milky customer
You take a deposit? If so wat %?
Deposit is for broke people, what do I need a deposit for?

Unfortunately that won’t be a low cost quick job.
Nah, get the right guys and with the value of oak you'd be surprised how cheap I could be, the term cheap is relative tho.
Contact the electric company, they have tree crews on their payroll. They may trim/remove it for free if it's a power outage liability.
@@themadhatterxxx yea the electric company came out to our place and fell a huge just dead oak that was next to the line to the house. They came prepared to dice it up w lift and all, but just knocked it down n didnt chargè anything

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost?
There’s no set price for tree removal.
It varies by tree type, size and height. Average in chicago area is 1000 to 2000 per tree. I got 3 70ft elms with a 30ft crab tree removed w stumps for $3500. I called 9 or 10 different companies to get estimates. Most wanted 2000 to 3000 per tree, but I just wasnt paying that much. Heres my logic, crew make 25 per hour per guy. Crew of 3 guys get 250 per day = 750 labor per day. Tack on another 1500 for equipment and profit and you get 2250 for one tree. Add 1000 for each tree and that should give you a rough price. Note that the more trees you have to remove, the lower the price. Also, depending on the trees you have, the company may give you a discount because they make money off the trees.
This industry is not very welcoming to beginners. 😞
There can be some people who make it very difficult for the new guys that’s for sure. If I can help you in anyway just ask.
