$15,000 to remove this oak in Sacramento. That’s like a big payday, right?

We brought in a 110-ton crane, with our farthest reach at 160 feet. We even had to hoist the crane’s own dolly trailer into position during setup.

The oak measured 54 inches across the base. We hauled away about 90 cubic yards of chips and four 16-foot dump trailer loads of oak.

Two climbers. Three groundsmen. We arrived at 8 AM and left at 7 PM. Every crane pick was finished, but two guys still had to come back for another 3–4 hours to handle the last base section.

The crane bill? $10,000.

That left $5,000 to cover payroll, hauling, our equipment, and everything else. These cranes charge hourly, and overtime adds up.

The work went smoothly, and I’m proud of my guys. Everybody stayed safe, we had fun, and the clients kept bringing out food, drinks, and snacks. Their appreciation made a long day a whole lot better.

So you tell me— do you think we should’ve charged more?

I’m already the only tree company in the area with online estimate booking, but not everybody wants to book through a website. A lot of people still want to call and give me the details over the phone.
The problem is that I’m on the phone trying to think fast, checking the map, checking the days, trying to figure out where I can fit them in. That leaves the customer waiting on the line.
So I took the automatic scheduler I already use and put it on our side too. Type in the name or the property address, it pulls from our CRM, and boom, here are the available times. Me or my receptionist can book an estimate while we’re still on the call.
Just another little thing I’m excited about. Faster calls, better experience for the customer.

What goes into a $22,000 tree removal? 🌳🏗️
This project near Sacramento Executive Airport required much more than a crane and a chainsaw.
Our four-man crew had to coordinate permitting, a street closure, and aviation safety before the first cut could even begin.
Complex removals require careful planning, experienced professionals, and precise ex*****on.
Another challenging project handled by TreeMax.

PSA:
Good friend of mine said “working is working”
I share part of that sentiment. I like working hard and feeling like I’ve gotten a lot done. That’s when I feel the best about myself. The people that like to have that same feeling is who I like to have around me.
