they also started removing a line of leylandi, broke an asbestos roof. Got paid for 3/4 of the job then refused to answer the phone to do repairs or finish the job.

Breaking an asbestos roof must suck. Guaranteed the cost of roof removal by a certified company, disposal and replacement will cost more than whatever they charged for that absolute shite work

They didn’t even tell the customer - just said they’d be back with cherry picker to finish 3 leylandis overhanging the roof and next doors shed by 15 - 20ft. Was a hard day climbing and rigging but we had them done and dusted in 1 1/2 days with no damages. Back to grind in a couple of weeks and got 2 days next door that we picked up at the same time. Every cloud 👍

If that’s a sycamore, then it’s fine, post a pic July next year.

I’ve no doubt it’ll survive, I just hate the fact I’ll have to drive passed it weekly and watch it turn into a giant cluster**************** that offends my eyes!

Well … there is pollarding and there is pollarding. At least get the stubs looking even please! It’s not hard.

I put my foot down with some things but over the years I have been worn down by customers and what they want and have done my share of work that I’m not proud of. Mostly I have found it’s other tree surgeons that are the critics. The general public are none the wiser and ask me for a quote on their trees..

just so this doesn’t come across badly I do always look for best practice where possible.
