A few examples.
Half a day in gale force winds dismantling this on Friday half of it rigged then a sat morning drive out picking up the timber.
Copper Beech almost identical size next door over half a day to reduce by 2 metres was a horrible work out... although probably more overall satisfying

Thing that annoyed me with that article is it is more more skill full job to prune a tree properly and should not be devalued as such.. this country’s tree stock overall does not need any more shite pruning , the photo in the article does it no favours at all.

 

Absolutely agree and in finicky trees my prices for pruning can be not far off price for removal. 

 

Far more skill and a delicate touch needed to prune than fell, IMO of course.

We have , in the past been asked to " take a bit off  here and there  " (when the customer really wants it gone ) coz he thinks it will be cheaper .

I dont like how they're glamourising tree surgery. 

 

£120 for 2 men for 2 hours is daylight robbery, and can anyone show me the flash tree cutter raking in 21 grand a year?

Load of bollocks

£30 an hour not including travelling between jobs?  Hardly daylight robbery!

As the tree was quite tall, way above the 12 feet limit, we had to send an alpine certified tree surgeon.

 

So tree over 12ft need alpine tree surgeons?

 

What is an alpine tree surgeon one thats being up Mont Blanc?
