Need help with Brush Piles
I have a pricing calculator that works off of acres, terrain, density, slope, things like that, but I keep running into quotes where people have bulldozed their trees. Now I just have these giant, dead, dried-out piles of brush and logs that have root balls, dirt, and rock, and I really don't have a pricing model. How do you guys look at a pile of brush and then know how to price it? I added a picture of two of the seven pals this guy has on his property.

Would it make sense to charge hourly for the piles since there are so many unknowns?
Ad help
Hey Everyone, Would anyone be willing to share some mulching/ brush clearing content I can use to stitch in for some Facebook ads? I’m starting from zero and trying to gauge my market/ get some jobs lined up before renting or buying a setup.

I would love to hear an update on how this is going!
When Do You Give The Actual Quote
Do you guys quote on site while doing the site walk or do you just collect info and send an official quote? My initial thought was to send the quote through Jobber but I am pretty sure customers will be looking for a number in person or at least a "ballpark" number.
What's your hourly goal?
Currently doing my first job, and learning I didn't price it high enough lol. Learning is never free tho so it's fine, I'll still make a decent little chunk. My question it, after machine depreciation, attachment depreciation, fuel, consumables, insurance, etc., what is your goal for profit for your time in the seat per hour? My guess is I'll end up in the $180-$200/hr range on this job. Many thanks to all who reply.

The way I have it figured is: how much does the business cost, how much owner draw I will take. I know what my hourly is and how many days a month I need to operate to break even. Anything above 9 days a month is pure profit and anything less in a loss. I know there is a better way but haven't figured it out yet.
What tools do you carry with you?
I was curious what tools you guys care with you onto your job site in case you have an issue with your equipment.

Well, I am curious as well. I will be starting soon but plan on the following: Chainsaw, grease gun, cut off, impact wrench, batteries, transfer tank, air compressor, blower, miscellaneous hand tools. If I am missing anything, let me know!
