Scaffolding - stem removal

[Xerxses]

I don't know how it's done today, but up untill ten years ago ALL treework in Gibraltar was done from scaffolding.

A takedown, maybe.

 

But to go through that rigmarole every time you want your hedge cut is insane. Time for a new hedge. One you can cut with a hedgecutter.

Its not about cost or hassle as our client arranged for the scaffolders to do it for us (he's a rather successful property developer and it was his experience over a lifetime, who looked at a problem and in 5 minutes said "why don't we scaffold it").

 

It's about the most effecient and effective way to cut a hedge that is there for a reason - its blocks out something our client doesn't want to look at. It took us 2-3 hours to top these conifers - the last time it was done it took 2 days to get them the way he wanted them. It was an excellent scaffold to work of and took no effort on our behalf - remember work not about knackering yourself everyday, its about getting a job done the best way using any available and practicable means. It probably cost less for the scaffolders than it would for a mewp (not that we could get a mewp in).

 

Job done - no hassle- client happy - perfect.

What I meant was if he ripped that s***** hedge out, replanted and kept it maintained you wouldn't need scaffolding every time you cut it.

 

With a hedgecutter.

 

Cest la Vie. As you say, it's his money. And it was an ingenious solution.

The Landscape Architect specified it as the cheapest option (and no planning permission required) to hide the back view. They went in at 6-7m high specimens and there's about 20-25 of them - nice we job at around £650 each (remember it well!) We do quite a bit of specimen tree planting our biggest ever was 196No Quercus palustris 30-35cm in Belfast subbing to a Dutch company - we've been paid to prune them every year since they went in. That's the good thing about specimen tree planting - you don't have to wait so long before you get a call to prune them after you've planted them:lol:

Well why didn't you say!

 

Good work fella!
