The most exciting news!!! So TreeCareLA has been in business for going on 6 years. We run a 4-5 man crew out of a 2 car garage. All our equipment is packed against the wall because we keep 2 cars in there every day. Chipper truck, pick up and employee cars get parked in the street in front of...

Just got this email I thought y'all might wanna know about. 16% off EVERYTHING. Just thought I'd share! love nick

California is in a major drought. It's changing my business. We spend as much time talking about watering as we do about pruning. In fact, when we talk about pruning it's usually "hey your trees are stressed. Don't prune them this year." So I got this email from a dude I met last week. This is...

Anyone ever used one of these services with good results? Karina has a 790 :\: but I got a measly 660. :|: I think it's pretty flawless, but 5 years ago I had a medical issue where I was getting dozens of invoices and a $45 one slipped through the cracks and got sent to collections before I...

I think this would be a great topic for discussion. Let's post pics of utility poles and we can all take guesses as to how many volts are running through all the various lines. I have a basic idea of what I'm looking at when I see them- but it's an area where I'm sure many of us could use some...

I occasionally encounter this annoying situation. I wanted to see what you folks do in these situations. I'll describe. So lets say I go out and meet a prospective client. I send them a bid. Maybe it has 5 items on it, ranging in price from $100 up to maybe $1,500. Lets say it looks like...

What do you think? Let's assume the size of the tree doesn't matter because the strength of the posts are sufficient for the expected load. Tree is on very steep hill. love nick

48 and 52" DBH. I like the trees. This can be one of those threads where you all (especially Jomoco) tells me how dumb I am for not cutting them down. Have a look see https://youtu.be/hQSNENba4qc love nick

I don't know how these media-types keep finding me. But... http://www.marketplace.org/2015/12/28/sustainability/el-nino-trees Not a super informative piece, but it's good that people are talking about trees BEFORE bad things happen.. love nick

So I've been having a welder make us up these little props. I think we got the design down pretty solid: They basically take a piece of square tubing (usually 4x4), weld a plate on the bottom to be the base, weld a plate on the top to be cap, drill a hole in the middle of the cap, weld a...

So if you have a customer NOT pay, people will commonly say "at least you can write it off as a loss!" What does that actually mean? In accounting you can put something in as an expense, or as income. There isn't another "loss" category. I've had accountants (plural) tell me that you don't...

There's a great company that takes the wood we cut, then mills it into usable lumber. They are literally saving the world and saving local wood works BIG money! They applied for a grant and need some votes. Watch their video, get warm and fuzzy feelings about NOT letting wood go to the dump...

So we're renewing our general liability policy. Because of some weirdness, we're being told the premium should be increasing FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT :O :\: :O :\: :O :\: So I wanted to ask you guys "how much do you guys pay for insurance" to see if I'm getting ripped off...but then I realized...

So I got this Italian stone pine (Pinus pinea. About 35 ft tall. It's a codominant tree. DBH is 50 inches. It's on a well known street here in LA that is lined with these trees, all similar dimensions. They are getting attacked by bark beetles pretty hard. 50% of the trees have been removed, are...

Just a quick blurb- but check out #20!! http://www.latimes.com/home/la-hm-el-nino-20151017-story.html love nick

Up in the Hollywood hills, things get pretty crazy. Here's an extreme example. We have a few trees to do. Some removals, some pruning, and a palm tree up here To get the crew mentally ready for this insanity, I made a video. <iframe width="560" height="315"...
