Oak Removal

[Stephen Blair]

i am getting to the stage in my business that i can pick and choose my jobs, i very rarely get the bigger trees to do in my area because thats the ones that folk get lots of quotes for and all the newbies love the big wood, hell i did when i was younger. I suppose i have a very one sided view becaus ethats the only side i have seen, and i can only compare jobs to the ones that i have been involved in. I have been involved in planning applications to remove 20 year old topped sitka for over a year that has taken a lot of time and effort, then the day i turn up a builder next door bulldozed over 60 trees for houses, But that was a different department, and guess what, the site is lying empty and has been for nearly 2 years as the housing market has went belly up. But i know the guys in the council have to earn their money too, council tax and planning makes money i suppose. and i know the tree officer must have a hell of a time explaining that in the middle of a conservation area.
