Arborists make money doing arborist work such as climbing, cutting, chipping, and on-site consulting. That’s the billable stuff, but as a business grows, the person who used to spend their day in a harness ends up spending it instead building quotes from scratch, cross-checking who’s free on Thursday, re-typing job details from a notebook into a spreadsheet, and reconciling a stack of paper dockets from last week’s jobs. None of that is billable, but all of it is necessary. The more the business grows, the more of it there is, which means the owner or senior staff get pulled further
