The Arbalk morning register!

[Doug Tait]

Morning all.

Glad to see Friday, been on the biggest connie hedge trim I've seen this week. All round a housing estate, four days with 9/10 people and yesterday was hot and wet with too much hedgewalking, miserable. Still, got it finished yesterday so finish the week on tree work and there's no rain forecast!

 

Have a good one folks.

 

 

Edit. I won't be climbing today though having lost half my kit to the loler guy this week, Gustharts have done well out of it at least!

Nasty Doug, does it get done every year?

The cost must be in closing in on 5 figures.

Castlewelwyn like that does not ‘hedge’ too well either.

Brown spots incoming!

You're not far off with the cost. We (with another team subbed in for it) do it annually and have done for several years now. The hedge was established and well kept before the houses were built so it's not too bad really, just a few bare areas. It used to be the perimeter of the head office of a whisky manufacturer so always been trimmed annually.

Morning all,

 

Nice day looming here, looks good for a few days now. Off to see orthopaedic surgeon, almost certainly leading to knee replacement later this year.

 

Rest of day cutting my hedges with the tractor mounted finger bar cutter. Used it 3 times now and beginning to master the controls.
