I started a tree service 3 years ago from absolutely nothing. Now I have a house, 2 trucks, dump trailer, dingo, claw and grinder grapple, family and baby on the way. I had no tree experience before I started besides rope access training and 1 month in the field. Tree work saved my life!!!
That is awesome!
This inspires me. I quit my office job 4 months ago to start tree work. I'm still on the ground for now but I'll be climbing this winter. I fully plan on doing this path once I get more experience
Way to go Ryan
Nice! Congratulations man. This is inspiring
Now 4 trucks.
Don’t ever quit, don’t think you need to waste time, get it while the getting here!
As a female I can’t tell you enough how valuable your videos have been to me. I started trimming trees two years ago (San Antonio TX) with a 50 dollar tool rental. I took your “never tell a client you can’t do something, say yes then figure it out” advice and I went from looking up how to install mulch on your channel to installing artificial turf and many other soft and hardscape installations. I LOVE what I do!!! 💚
Thank you for all the inspiration and advice!!
You're welcome
Thats true when you get rid of the wrong friends you find the right friends that have same mindset to just hustle
I say the vision is everything a lot of us don’t pick up on it but those who do and follow through live a happy well deserved life. This video just made my day thank you.
I've been dabbing in and marketing Tree Jobs as well. I bought my first and second stump grinder this year. Still being funded by landscaping/lawncare but I do plan on growing the tree side as well. Something very rewarding about spending the day with a chainsaw.
Get a helmet and stay safe out here it’s hard rewarding work!
I started my tree service with 1500$ , tundra pickup, and dump trailer. It's not money it's effort that you need.
The secrets out! Money really does grow on trees. We make as much in a week of tree work as a month in the lawn biz!
Keith I really appreciate your channel and Peptalks! I’m a new business owner and watch your videos quite often! Thank you!
Haha thanks. Means a lot. This video took a lot of work.
@@keith-kalfas lol I can imagine, but I do actually really appreciate most of your videos!
Lets see Keith hit 100k😊
Yo! I just got your new book bro. Thanks man.
@@keith-kalfas you are a legend big dawg. Will you send me a link so I can buy yours😊

1st year offering tree removal so this is inspiring!
Great video kalfas!
Dang, 6 years is quite a long time, good for you!
Awesome video! I love seeing tree work. Those guys are kicking butt. 🦶
I respect the heck out of you man. I own my tree service in Cincinnati. Anytime you are in the area shoot me a message we can collaborate on some trees with my equipment. I clear huge trees daily over here. Food for thought. Keep on keepin on brotha man. Love the content!
This video is inspiring!!! I've had so many ups and downs with business over the years. My old partner and I grew a business on 1.5 years to over 600 cliental. Starting over, hacking away day by day is a challenge after having everything you wanted. You know my old partner Gordon Wolf. Iam about to start posting on youtube here shortly. God bless you Keith
Yes. Haha I remember. Yes the ups, & downs too. And yes Gordon. Did you know I grew up with his cousin Jimmy Wolf. But Jim moved up north.
@@keith-kalfas no I didn't know that. G told me about him. Said he was kinda weird I guess lol. I wanna grow my business like you brotha. What do you do in the winter?
I admire that guy
Love it Keith, keep this amazing content coming. More tree work please 💯
Many blessings thank you and you're welcome
A PV hook would be a good investment. With a PV hook you could roll those logs out of your trailer effortlessly. They range anywhere from $40 to $100. I got a stihl one that is all metal and has a lifetime warranty. Honestly, one of the best investments I ever made. Saves your back big time.
Great video Keith 2021 should be a good year for me my business should be completely off the ground I hope you have a Merry Christmas thank you so much for the videos keep them coming
Merry Christmas Daniel. 2021 you're business is gonna explode Homie!
You're funny bro. I was wondering about that wood burning fire. 🤣👏👏😂
Your treeman is an absolute professional. Love it.
Love the swivel on the grapple best I’ve ever ran
That log was hangin on for dear life
Hey Keith great video.. almost at the 100k congrats.. i think you get a play button at 100k keep up great work
When you were playing with the paper truck in the beginning of the video, for some reason it made me think of Tommy Boy 🤣🤣🤣. Chris Farley trying to sell brake pads.
Great work he is very skilled
🤣
Such a small wood chipper. ours is massive!!
This was pretty entertaining to watch, great video 🤙
Excellent video! Love the new studio
Hha thanks. Still working in it 💪
Man is the truth I started with a saw from the pawnshop no money 5 years ago glad to say I took the chance now in my 5 year I'm seeking things like money vay Kay's. Good credit is awesome to have its so funny when I got in the business my friends changed a little ppl get sick of a guy that talks about his line of work 24/7 lol.were definitely a rare breed in this line of work.
Thank you for posting ! Your lawn care fan Alvin Chica
Yo wants up Alvin! Haha
nice closeup of some good-lookin smoked brisket @3:25
Way to many people think you can just start doing tree work. You can’t! It’s dangerous! My husband has been a climber with the same company for 21 years, an he’s ready to get self employed, it’s becoming complicated though for some reason. However, it’s the only way to truly make the money he deserves, time to branch out on our own. It’s nerve wrecking, but I know it’s the best choice. I am just shocked though with how many people we meet who say oh I can do that job, so many doing jobs for Pennie’s with no experience, now as finances get tough it’s gotten really bad.. people are very ignorant to the dangers an essentials of having experience…
Last video he didn't really strike me as a "tree guy" with the ironworker boots and the oil rigger hard hat but makes sense now that he came up as a line clearance guy. They dress like linesmen and linesmen wear widebrims and flatsoles.. Looks like he's really kitting out now as more of a tree guy with the Petzl style hats and Sena communications. Coming up in a "corporate" company lends itself well to running a owner operator company. It looks like a well oiled machine
Im interested in a starting a tree business. Ive flipped many homes and always got involved with the tree removal part, so satisfying to see a tree nicely groom or removed. What is the capital investment for equipment and what kind of returns does your friend see?
All I can say ur are amazing 👏
Thanks means a lot. I dono why though 😄
Dude I live in Oakland county and I have sycamore trees that some company started last year and just never came back lol
I don’t do trees I do landscape and just bought window cleaning tools thanks for the videos!
Hell yeah. You were struggling a bit at the end huh? Lol. Good stuff. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Remember get that PV hook. They look like a big can opener lol
Would love to see the promo video once it’s done!
Nice removal of that Elm... put the dump down drive fast. Slam on brakes, lift dump.. 😉
do videos on hardscaping
elm wood is dense af.... it’s like a rock when it hits the ground
Best way saving money is cutting down trees and make trees into mulch and dyeing it that recycling not burning it or put somewhere. if it a mesquite wood split it and sell it for money
What do you do with the logs, sell them to small lumber mills, make firewood or just throw them in the dump? Depends on the species of the log?
If it’s hard wood, you can bring it to your shop, split it and let it “season” for about a year. Then you can sell it as firewood after it’s seasoned.
Hail zobatron!!
Lmao 2 min after pointlessly bouncing on the log “I gotta pull up”😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️
@ 8:27 I can't remember how many times I've tried to move a log that is 4+ times my weight and been reminded that we soft/weak humans are the weakest link in an industrial process like tree removal. Got to be smart and keep your head clear and in the game or else you'll become a statistic!
Yes haha. Yes.. and the funny thing is... at first glance.... the big logs FALL AND TUMBLE like big marshmallows... you totally take for granted how fricken dangerous this actually is.
Nice video. What do you use to edit your videos; gopro or other? Thanks!
Do you guys just dump the wood in the land fill?
great work but dumping firewood, damn could have used it for firewood
lLast 2 mins were kinda painful to watch has some ways to get that out easier but great advice i just bought a small Stihl chainsaw and about to go do my first tree job today at 11 am my boys got a truck and were ready to go im excited for this! I honeslty wanna make a company all year round like sno,w lawn care, and tree trimming so I can work all year round, wanna call it J&J ( justin and justin) escavating Inc ya think that's a good idea or no?
You guys trow out the logs ?
I know there are people who would take them allot of people will pay for hard wood like that
Just pull up next time what you doing your a smart man looking crazy kicking them big logs
My dad has a tree company should I take over ? Has so many clients
This video inspires fly by nights in areas we need more than a. Business and liability lic# and insurances. I'm sorry. But this is in between me knowing i am able to charge because we have safety and ordinance practices not realized by states near heavy forest areas.
How long has he been in business
I'm looking for a commercial for my business thanks
I wish I had the know how to get into tree work, there's really good money in it....but I don't want anything to really do with it 🤣
@Alan Smithee 🤷♂️ I do plenty of other work, I don't need to get into tree work
I'm looking for a video for my business
How much is tree removal
I’d sell those logs to a local firewood supplier! Maybe Even give them the logs and save on dump fees.
That species of wood you need a log splitter. I split a cord of Elm once with a splitting mal. Took me 3 day's with cutting releaf cuts and yousing a 16 lbs sledge hammer and lost a cupple wedges. So I made $200 for the cord of firewood but only made about $5 an hour doing it. Elm is they worst wood to split period.
Did you sell the lumber?
No. Too many services.
Was Quentin Howell in the navy back in like 2010? I've been wondering about this dude and I about shit my pants when I seen him. Its gotta be him! How do I contact him?
You could of just drived forward and the logs would of came out lol
Y didn’t he sell the wood😦
Elm
@@kevinvasquez3120 elm is hard wood cut split sell
@@kevinvasquez3120 unless in his state they can’t Bc of Dutch elm disease
Get young masters back
Next week we're doing a video. Ahhh
Trust me guys that there's going to be Competition all Over lesson learn you have to drop your prices so low at times it's not even worth it no more SMH
Because you're selling prices not value my guy.
@@steveportillo1717 Na bro here every body thinks they have Tree Service you bid on a job and this guy's will do it for like 200$ shit is ridiculous trying to get costumer my best advises find something better tree work is a joke now at days..
@@victorv5463 my advice is to differentiate from the competition. Become a certified arborist. Wrap your truck with business logo, have your employees wear shirts with business logo.
It's all starts with your mindset.
Looking to dabble in the tree service industry. I’m a line haul truck driver as it is. I would absolutely love to turn a side hustle into a business. But I’m not sure where to start, a community college in my area offers a horticulture program. I’m brand new to this type of work so I keep hitting walls and telling myself that it won’t work out...
Find a tree guy who needs help on Saturdays. You learn a lot as a ground guy
This video is inspiring!!! I've had so many ups and downs with business over the years. My old partner and I grew a business on 1.5 years to over 600 cliental.
