Spring doesn’t create operational problems in tree care — it exposes them.
As demand ramps up and new hires enter the field, many companies discover disconnects between what’s being ...sold, who’s trained to execute it, and how crews are scheduled. The result can be margin erosion, preventable incidents, and reactive decision-making right when performance matters most.
In this candid, operator-led conversation, Jason Lee and Jordan Upcavage share what used to break during spring ramp-up — and what changed when they aligned estimating, training, dispatch, and execution.
This session delivers real stories, practical frameworks, and operational discipline strategies that help tree care companies scale volume without sacrificing safety, efficiency, or profitability.
Together, they’ll unpack:
• How to onboard and prepare new hires before they step into high-risk work
• How to ensure required training is completed before dispatch
• How to align estimating with real crew capacity
• How to reduce preventable incidents during peak production
• How structured workflows protect margin when output scales
No fluff. Just practical insight from operators who’ve lived it.
