Yeah there is..but its something you do on the side and then work your way up. One thing to remember is that alot of people want the tree hauled off so youll need a truck or trailer...but then you can split it and sell the wood for more money. I love the work though..I do it on the side and dont plan to do full time. Its real easy to get alot of jobs because full time tree services bill the person huge where I usually give the person an average quote and there response is 'wow the tree service before bidded me at 2500' blah blah blah you know what i mean....

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm thinking something a bit more full time, but I'll do an all out investment of my time, and current finances to get off and running.
I'm good at climbing, have rope, a chainsaw, foot spikes, and a jeep, so I should be good to start gaining clientell right off right?

Yeah..what kind of trees are in the area?? Most calls i get are removal but the trees tend to not be monsters so i only have to climb up and attach a couple ropes to conrol the fall..Some will be basic trim jobs where you have to meet the customers needs by looks. Also it would be awesome for you to hook up with someone in that buiesness and work a job or to with them and get an idea on how much you should charge but if you cant or havent then dont worry because youll get it as you go along.

Mainly palm trees. I do have some experience working with a crack head in Tree Service, but unlike him, I Bank and don't spend all my cash on crack (actually, I only smoke weed and eat shrooms).
He charged $80 for each trim job we'd do, and I made $30.00. I gave up on it a couple years ago, mainly because of my coworker, and a couple sticky situations.

From what I can tell there is a rather large demand in the area, mainly in the middle class, tic-tac-rich neighborhoods.
