Not what I'd have done, but I'm always wary of slagging of others work when we don't know what was asked of them. If that's what the customer wanted (unlikely in this case as if they wanted it pollarded they would have probably have gone lower?) then they've carried out the job to spec....

 

 

Now see thats an interesting comment as alot of people will say they do what the customers ask, they advise whats right but if the customer is adamant on what they want then they do it, would you do THAT to a tree and walk away.

It looks bad, but if thats what the customer wanted then thats what you do

If you walk away some one will do it and the money is better off in my bank

 

At the end of the day if no amount of discussion will change there mind you may as well do it than lose the job

To that tree if I was asked to that then yes I probably would. I'm here to make money. However if the spec was can you make it a 1/3rd smaller I'd have done it a lot differently... But we don't know the full facts

 

On a 600year old oak, I'd like to think I'd have a concience. Every job is different, we can only advise. What is a bad job to someone is a good job to someone else.

 

The only other factor that would influence me would be other work in the area, but at the end of the day jo public wouldn't know that was bad most of the time.........

Dont worry about it mate, just post more on Arbtalk and it will help your spelling out no end......... Anyway that's another thread.

 

As for the reduction, it's crap, I would'nt do it unless there was mega quids on it and even then I'd be worried that someone would see me doing it. Or found out later that I'd done it.

 

Your only as good as your last job in most peoples eyes. Imagine standing back after you've finished and looking at that abortion.

No I personally wouldn't, I'd give up tree work before Id do that

 

I came into tree work to look after trees not mutilate them because someone told me to :001_smile:

if you are using firefox (which i'm sure you are)

then download this dictionary add-on....

it works like MS word, with a red line underneath the words that are spelt incorrectly. i'd look like a right dimwit without it (or rather more of one)
