Are some people just thick or what?

Yep does make one laugh.

 

I really find it funny when they wait for you to finish put the tools on the truck then say oh could you just nip the highest bit off some more. WTF.

 

Certainly maddam and your really thinking fcuk me send the boy up lol.

The ones that get on my nerves are the ones that claim their trees have no protection order on them.

 

Once one of them even went to the lengths of showing me a (supposed) E-mail from the council saying there were no TPO's on her property.

 

I then checked myself as it was a very large mature oak, next door to a conservation area.

 

When I called her back and told her the TPO news she swore at me for getting the council involved and hung up!

B*stards, all of them.

someone complained that the trees were blocking the sun from their house. i told them that i doubted it. the trees were on teh north side of their property and we all know in teh northern hempishere the sun is on the southern side of the sky.

have any of you ever refuse to do a tree becauce this is your living.what come first money or do you walk away from a job. in a ideal world all treess should be untouch.???

[dodger]

Just had a phonecall,

 

"Can you come and look at three Trees I have with a veiw to Lopping them"

 

This couple have just moved into this house with three mature trees in the garden, wifey wants these trees tops lopped off because they blow about in the wind and look dangerous.

 

I asked, if they had just moved in whether or not they had been told about the trees and whether they are protected or not through the survey etc.

 

They said they had and they have got a tree preservation order on them.

 

Surely they must know what a TPO is and what it stands for if they have just had a survey done?

 

I said, the only thing that will be allowed on the trees is light pruning and deadwooding, but I would come out tomorrow and inspect the trees anyway to make sure they were healthy so they would have nothing to worry about.

 

Don't you just know you are wasting your weekend??

 

It really pees me off that people buy houses with trees and then immediately try to mutilate or remove the trees after they move in

 

 

 

 

buying a house is a massive investment perhaps they think the trees might course proplems later on. plus if you wont do what there ask for there get another tree surgeon in and you lose a job

[Amelanchier]

not with a TPO. If they haven't done their homework. Tough. Large investment or not. Whey should everyone loose the quality of local amenity just because some people can't be bothered to educate themselves.

 

Bet they know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
