Are some people just thick or what?

Oh , these are going to be a total waste of my saturday for sure. I'm only going in the best interests of the trees.

 

I charge £50 for visits like that. Covers my fuel and time. Sometimes I charge more depending on distance.

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.

 

 

 

live in a real world people are not going to educate themselves . that why there get a tree surgeon in to advice them but you only can advice most people.

I have some sympathy with people who move into new houses unaware of the tree issues. They normally look at the house at night because they cant get a day off work. During the day, in the winter the leaves are off the trees and the place can feel brighter. Then comes summer and if its a Horse Chestnut or Sycamore the sun is blotted out the sky. TPOs are a guide not the be all and end all.

 

Its not always easy to defend TPOs when the qualitiy of people's lifes are effected in a negative way. I have talked many a tree officer into removing an overlarge TPO'd tree which is far too close to a house.

You would educate yourself if I popped round with the TPO document.

 

If you didn't you would be an idiot.
