    Thats a $600 job. Our minimum is $350 to show up. Your cheating yourself and ruining the business by being a cut throat . You need to stay compatible with all other tree services so customers dont expect this kind of work for nothing. Nobody does anything like what you just did for $100.

      I know a lot of people who complain about the cost of getting an arborist in. I would encourage anyone who complains to buy a chainsaw and do some basic chainsawing around their yard. Suddenly they'll realise how energy sapping it is, how skillful it is, how dangerous it can be, and that it costs money to maintain good equipment. After that they'll realise they shouldn't complain about the cost of an arborist.

    Here in Germany, my guess, probably around 450 EUR to get a professional just cut it down and drive to/from the spot, though that may vary on where exactly you are. It is not allowed to work alone in this business here, you will need two climbers. Interesting, never seen that technique before where you have the top on the rope and cut it down. Never use a powersaw with one hand. Never!

    Arborist here and someone who climbs and cuts trees down regularly. This guy is showing some good techniques in climbing and cutting. Though there a lot of unnecessary cuts he's making. For example when he cuts a limb and it hinges down. There's no reason to cut smaller branches off of it. They could possibly get caught up in the already hanging branch and get misdirected onto the fence or shed. The branches from what I can see shouldn't be that heavy and if they are rigging techniques should be implemented. The first thing that I saw that made me want to comment was at 4:57. He is holding onto the branch with one arm and cutting with the other. This is a regular practice while climbing and removing a tree. But the thing that he did wrong was the way he held the branch and made the cut. You should NEVER cross cut above your arm. In this scenario he could push down or lose control of the saw while making the cut and his arm would be right in the way of the saw and he could be cut very badly. You should instead switch hands, again at 4:57 if he were to hold the saw in his left and and the branch in his right. That would eliminate any danger of him cutting his arm very badly. I'm not trying to shame or discourage you from doing tree work, but I just want you to learn form an experienced person in the field and practice safe saw techniques. That is a really big mistake I've seen people make before and I would hate it if you accidentally cut your arm in this scenario. As getting out of the tree while bleeding or even losing strength in your arm would be a perilous mistake. Please take a little bit of my advice and be safe out there. Keep up the good work friend.
