A tree almost killed my mom and I. We had just gone to the other side of the house when a branch landed in the kitchen. And, I just like watching things fall and I self-learned by absolute necessity, cutting dead trees on the landlord's property so I could put wood into the fireplace and not die in -35° February. And on my property, I've got 4 giant silver maple trees that have cost us no less than $3,000 since my wife and I moved into this house because they keep dropping limbs on our electrical service lines and the power company says these lines are on me to repair so I, by law, have to call an electrician to do them. So I've started taking down my 4 trees, got 1 completely done and the next is finishing by next weekend. I've bought an MS194T (an exponential upgrade from the $32-at-a-yard-sale McCulloch that I was using for decades prior), a climbing harness, tree spikes, steel-core flip-line, 200'x3/8" rappelling rope, 200'x5/8" polypropylene rigging rope, a bunch of carabiners, a grappling hook (which has come in handy already to grab a soda from the ground while I'm in the tree for a break so I didn't have to climb back up), and a couple prussik loops to act as a third hand with the figure 8 so I can be hands-free in the tree. On my wishlist is a Petzl ZigZag and the MS500i with a 40" bar (maybe 38" will do) so I can take these 4 trees down to the ground. With a 16" bar I can only get them down to under 15 feet off the ground, these trees are HUGE. I learned rappelling in the USArmy, can still tie my own ranger seat but the harness is far more comfortable and faster to put on. May as well take my hatred for deadly trees over dwellings and what I learned to help others who don't want to die by a failed bird house. But, I do know that an established company in the area will try dirty tricks to bury me if I seem to be competition for them. So, your advice to have the 3 A's is exactly what I needed to hear to feel better about actually doing work for my community.
Thank you for the information. Doing my own tree work has me thinking about starting a part time tree removal service. Gonna ask my tax guy a series of questions when I meet with him at the end of the month.
Well thanks you're helping my confidence because I didn't want to be turning down jobs because I can't claim a tree but you know what I think I'm just going to get started and then turn down jobs if I can't climb the tree
I want to start a tree service so I can pay off my truck. I feel like I could do a tree every weekend and then pay off my truck real fast. Just the things that had me stop in my tracks was realizing I probably need a good chainsaw like a stihl in that cost a lot more money and then I don't want to turn trees down because I can't climb trees I need to know how to climb trees and where do you get the equipment and what equipment I need. Because at first I was thinking I would just do trees I don't have to climb or anything however I don't know if I want to do that I think I just want to climb trees
I just want it to be a side hustle to pay off my truck however actually it would be a great thing to just replace my job with. I want to be personal training I'm a certified personal trainer that's what I want to do until I can go back to school and go to medical school. However the tree business is something I need to do right now so I can pay off this truck at least Spirit can't be sitting here making payments on it for 5 years that's too much man I can get it paid off in like a year if I start doing trees
Forming LLC or even just getting a business license is becoming impossible task for me because they tell me that I have to register my business on this website and I go to the website and there's literally nowhere to register the business there is only buttons that registrations. Who is very very annoying it's like they don't want you to start a business or something and I tried to call them a couple times and I just sat and waited for someone to answer for 25 minutes each time and I don't have time to just sit there and wait so I had to hang up the phone and leave good so I guess I got to keep trying to get ahold of them but they're not making it an easy task and it's very annoying great I swear it's like they want to make it difficult for people to start businesses on purpose. I really feel like that's what it is
See I bought my truck and I told him I was only going to buy that truck if it was 500 a month but they talked me into like 700 a month. So then I started thinking of how am I going to pay off this truck and then I remembered but I thought it would be a good idea to trim or remove trees for people and then I started thinking I can do that and I was going to get a chainsaw but then I realized most of the chainsaws that are really affordable actually aren't very good so I need a better one. I don't know why that's stopping me I feel like I could use a cheaper Chainsaw for a few jobs and then buy a better chainsaw
You said I need a 3/4 ton truck to rent some of the equipment I was asking them about. I have a tundra I feel like I can make it work with a tundra even if I have to have them drop off some equipment because they'll deliver it
is there anything I'm missing for starting a tree removel company I've here's what I know one make an llc. 2. get a business. 3. insurance . 4. have to register with the mn Department of Agriculture. did i miss anything that you know of
Sales thinking I could ask one of my old Bishops if I could leave trees on his land to dry out dude is a cattle rancher he's got a lot of land he's got like 5,000 cows

What state are you? I’m in NJ. I lost on what I need the requirements like licenses or permits
None of those will get you customers, and with no customers that's just a lot of debt.
Sales thinking I could ask one of my old Bishops if I could leave trees on his land to dry out dude is a cattle rancher he's got a lot of land he's got like 5,000 cows
Actually maybe like 35 weeks and if I can get to where I make $1,000 every weekend I just paid off in 35 weeks
Go Pointers!
Buy a saw. Buy a pickup. Buy some rope
What about customers?
And a wood chipper machine with a trailer
