Let's say you are doing a property line with NO fence. How do you ensure you keep a straight line? Is there a compass method, a GPS? Thinking this is a liability area if you get off.

I guess I’m not as tech as i thought i was. Navigating this site is difficult. For example-i would like to consider signing up for the accelerator program however it’s not readily available for me to see or find and the search can’t find it either. And in the classroom I’ve watched both videos 100% more than once yet they still show 0%. I’m excited about the opportunity to be involved but other than communicating on the chat board and watching videos i can’t find anything. Can someone please help me.

Greetings all, I am doing due diligence before launching into the land clearing model; starting from ground zero. Relative to insurance expense: What type of coverage is required and what is the expected expense for doing the actual work? Equipment damage, liability, umbrella? Worker’s comp? What is the expected insurance expense related to truck/trailer as transportation will obviously exceed the standard auto insurance? Any recommended insurance carriers for each type of coverage?

I have a potential client who recently reached out to me with a 1 acre property that's completely undeveloped. She just purchased the lot (yesterday was her closing day) and now she's wanting to move forward with having the lot cleared. Her vision is to clear nearly everything from the middle of the wooded lot, leaving only the trees around the property's border and a few mature trees throughout for shade. The rest of the property will become grass and will be used for recreational purposes. The property is currently a mix of moderate to dense vegetation, vines, brambles, and mature trees. I'm in the process of drafting an estimate for her now but wanted some advice as to what machine(s) might be best for the job. I haven't been able to visit the site yet, but have evaluated it via Google Maps Street View so far. I plan to work with the client to have the largest trees removed safely by a 3rd party as that's not really my wheelhouse. Some smaller diameter trees could be mulched but the trees are probably 40+ feet tall in most cases. I'll be renting a Takeuchi TL12v2 with a 62" mulcher. Given the height of the trees, should I plan to also rent a small excavator to help with felling and moving the trees for processing or do you think it's possible to push the trees over using the Tak? Or as another option, should I just stick with clearing the dense vegetation and leave all the taller stuff for the other company?

What do your estimates look like? Is it a total price with a job description or is like items with Project cost Mobilization Contingency
