Get use to it what comes with tree work, some times no easy way to do it. 

It doesn't bother me but I know it's gunna suck and it's not a good day for my groundies. It's a shit drag, across an ornate garden, over a little wooden bridge and across a 40ft deep gravel path. Just trying to make life easier for the guys.

40ft deep gravel? Customer must have enough coin to pay for helicopter extraction 🤐🤣

Could just ratchet tie them in bundles ready for chipping so less trips back and forwards

I'd call in sick.

 

Sorry mate, come down with a bad case of the no-can-do's! 😂

If it was that deep I'd just tuck the brash under the gravel 😂

Just buy them lots of cider afterwards.

Cyder makes the world go round (along with ice cream)

I think I'll go down the route of a mini chipper for the day and barrow it out/use a Wheely bin! 

If I was your groundsman I wouldn't thank you for that Paddy. Been in that position a few times, when "it'll make life easier, save you the drag", and it's just a slow, frustrating process. Recently we were offered to take the wee chipper to a little pruning job in an awkward bit, no thanks. Rather carry branches 1 or 2 at a time and pile up to chip in a few minutes at the end, or use a long thin tarp to stretcher them out. Anything but the wee chipper!

Fair enough. I guess a skinny tarp and some bungies might make it easier.

I can't believe what i'm reading! Our expert friend Scottish Cleaning Service became a millionaire with nothing but a wee chipper and an insatiable appetite for talking utter bollocks!

 

They're clearly the key to success.
