Free trees on Gumtree

[inthewoods]

Lucky there's not too many of them around here. A local farmer tried me to do the same but they ended up being poplars. To be fair if it was a massive ash, very local & clearfell then I would, as it's gotta be worth £400-500 in logs. Something to do on a down day anyway.

This clown did serve a useful purpose, for me at any rate - I referenced his business model as barter income in the HMRC Tribunal when they presented the lame rationale that a business cannot be trading / commercial unless there is cash income.

 

Rumour was it was a truly dreadful service - get in, smash the tree down anywhere it'll go, take the usable stuff and leave everything else like a wood pigeon's nest! You get what you pay for!

seeing more and more of these adverts on gumtree etc. so there must be some idiot out there happy to fell trees for free,

 

So just because someone chances their arm with a free advert, you assume the work is getting done :laugh1::laugh1:

 

 

Best case some have a go puts it through the new fence and does one.

 

Anyone noticed that the trees appear to be in the next garden over???

A timeless classic! Cracks me up every time!!

 

Seen this one:

 

 

I thought it looked like the trees were in an (as yet) undeveloped plot...

 

Just because the land 'appears' to be unoccupied there may be an assumption that the trees are open season....

Par for the course it seems. I've been involved with two clients whose neighbours have employed someone to fell trees on their land.

I have had that conversation as well

 

I think the giveaway that that trees are owned by a third party is

 

The Neighbours are also aware of the trees to be taken down so no problems!!

 

Why would you need to tell anyone else if you were above board and pukka?

Not being funny, but it sounds like you ARE one of them!

At least the advertiser is suggesting a chain saw is required to fell these trees, I expect he thought that if he didn't mention that, most professional tree guys would show up with a bow saw and an axe.

What a numpty.

Yeah it says in the add the neighbours are fine with that. So it must be ok I guess :-/.
