Run by Henri Ghijben. 22 years in tree surgery, 18 running HRG Tree Surgeons. Lost a business in 2019, rebuilt it, and now teaches what he learned the expensive way.
You're booked solid, climbing trees dawn to dusk
You've built a solid reputation in your area
Revenue's decent… but profit? That's another story
You're the bottleneck. Every decision runs through you
Time off feels impossible without everything grinding to a halt
Here's the truth: Being great with a chainsaw doesn't automatically make you great at running a business.
And that's exactly why most tree surgery businesses plateau. Stuck in the day-to-day grind, unable to scale, and wondering why the money never quite matches the effort.
I'm Henri. I've been in tree surgery for 22 years and I run HRG Tree Surgeons.
In 2019 my business went under. I'd built it to 47 staff, lost a major contract, and because I hadn't built it to survive that kind of hit, the whole thing came down. I had to lay off 47 people. People who trusted me, who had mortgages and families. That's still the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
Afterwards I asked myself the honest question. How does a business that looks that successful collapse that fast?
The answer was embarrassing. I didn't know my numbers. Not margin per job, not cost per man day, not what any client was actually worth, not what I needed in the bank to survive a bad month. I was brilliant with a chainsaw and winging everything else.
I'd walk into my local pub and guys would say, Henri, I'd love to be a penny behind you. And I'd be thinking, no you wouldn't. You really wouldn't.
So I rebuilt it, slower and properly. And then I built the course I wish someone had handed me in 2018.
This isn't business theory with tree surgery bolted on. It's what I learned the hard way, in this trade, with my own money.

That's usually the real reason, and it's also the problem. If your business can't survive you being away for three days in September, that's the thing to fix — and it won't fix itself in a quieter month, because there isn't one.

In July we had someone who'd been in the trade longer than I have. He got as much out of it as the lad who'd been trading two months, just different things. Usually it's the numbers, or finally working out how to step back properly.
No, and that's the whole point. Most business advice is written for people selling software. It doesn't survive contact with a chipper, a wet Tuesday, and a client with three other quotes.
