Price the tree before anyone quotes it

Calculators built on the federal wage for this trade — a $26.91 hourly mean, loaded and multiplied by crew hours — not on somebody's national average. Every assumption is on the page, so you can argue with an input instead of the total.

Measure, rate, price

01

Measure

Diameter at 4.5 feet, height, and what is underneath. Three numbers, taken in five minutes with a tape and a phone.

02

Rate

Run the tree through the hazard matrix. Likelihood of failure times what it would land on: Sound, Monitor or Remove.

03

Price

Crew hours times the loaded hourly rate, times an overhead band. The same arithmetic a company does at the tailgate.

Start with the measurement, not the quote

Take the diameter and the height, run the hazard matrix, then price it. Ten minutes of your own numbers changes every conversation you have with a crew.
