  1. Past hour
  2. Something very simple I've noticed over the years, that seems to significantly help new, or less confident potential customers, to instruct tree work: Breaking down the quotation into a couple of component prices (especially with a low-ish cost prep/preliminary item of work, first ), seems to relax them. I guess they get to see that we're not a bunch of cowboys, and I get to see how good they are at paying bills !
  3. Thanks,
  4. Not the best footage, taken on our evening stroll with the dog, the wing shape, flight pattern and the call gives them away. IMG_7166.mov

    Ladders

    I believe I've decided on the extendable combination ladder type. Trying to decide which brand and what size to get but likely the 8 rung. A frame max height of 4m and fully extended its 8.4m.
  20. Obviously, so why aren't arb trucks fitted with a mini fridge for viles of it, should anyone come into contact with it
  21. Thanks wallyrobinet for the point about drift. Am trying to finish off the trunk but save the ivy that is covering it, plus surrounding hedge. Steven P, I have followed your advice over the season - with secateurs, not shears - but wouldn't advise it for a large stump. It's a big tree (3m high and feels like about the same wide...) and shooting all over, including from side shoots. Half a dozen-odd shoots appear for every one we cut. Much of the new growth is virtually impossible to get at through the ivy stems. If I'd known how hard it was I'd have had more of a go at the insurers. They refused to pay for a second go, and suggested we prune it 'as part of the hedge'. Clearly they have NO idea of how fast a lime tree grows. So Ecoplugs it must be.
  22. Because anti-venom goes off and needs to be kept refrigerated.
