I hear you about the customers. If you're in a treed areas, repeat customers just keep needing things.
I may make a mess for someone away from my service area, on referral, but don't chip/ haul/ clean-up. Cut to manageably safe pieces' go.
My next bid is 2 miles up the road. Good...
Another component is quote versus estimate.
Yesterday was a quote price for a tree care project. Once up the western redcedar, i kept wanting to get more deadwood down for aesthetic reasons. I put in more time that I bid, as I chose to do so. Definitely added a 0.5 crew- hours for us...

Calculate profits per type of job.
Wish I had time to do all that.
Kinda chicken and egg.
