I like No 5, cut a suitable perch to sit on whilst cutting off another bit.

Ive done that,its called being erginomic.

Only difference is ive got ppe,a risk assesment and a great ground team.

Hi Gents

 

How many of you (qualified and insured) trained professionals have lost a job to a fake...? An rogue trader or individual ? 

 

And whats your your opinion on the subject ?

 

Gaz

My view is that a tree owner who is prepared to employ a door knocker generally isn't that willing to pay the costs of a more 'professional' outfit. 

 

So so let them get on with it.

 

ive also seen some quite good work down ( mainly conifer reductions) at costs we couldn't get near. No saying that all the pruning didn't end up in the nearest lay-by etc but if the client ain't bothered I can't lose sleep over it.

Thing is Gaz, if you were to go on the arbtalk FB site you could have all sorts of fun with the kids on there about this sort of thIng, loads of pics, gifs and tagging your mates asking if this was them, the hilarity goes on forever.

 

Maybe I’m wrong but I find it all a bit pointless getting knickers bunched up about this, it’s always going to happen, if one loses lots of work to those sort of outfits then the problem maybe isn’t them.

Wonder if they pruned that tree in background  also looks quite neat?
