Timber Lane is an unknown quantity at this point
I have two employees, sometimes three, but I am always on the job from start to finish. I need to be on site to make all the decisions, as the employees will often guess wrong if left to decide. I also am the only one running the skid steer, chainsaw, sod cutter, etc.

When bidding a job, I tout that I am always on the job and I don't just ride around in a pickup truck all day dropping off workers and picking up supplies. I seem to be successful in securing most jobs I bid on and I feel that a big reason is that the homeowner likes knowing that I am there. They have confidence in my knowledge and abilities. And yes, I am more expensive than most but I still get the job.
