Whatever, status quo.

Do the council own the trees? Is it in a conservation area? Are they subject to tree preservation orders?

Assuming all no, **************** the council and their crass opinion. 

I don’t think any of the above applies.

 

I would best my last dollar that it isn’t in the UK.

 

Either that or the sign writer cannot spell restaurant.

I thought it looked foreign but gave the benefit of the doubt.

I agree with Mick, top them and cash the cheque. Or, can't you remove say half, top the rest and replant the felled trees with something more suitable. Have a maintenance program to repollard them and then a good few years down they line drop the topped pops when the replants have grown to a decent size. Money in the bank for the next 20 years.

Thanks for the advices, i really appreciate your points of view.

 

The trees are owned by a private and yes they are not in the UK but in Portugal.

Staged replacement would be a great suggestion. Doubtful many customers would go for it, but it's clearly the winning solution here.

I did three separate jobs today on my regular subbing for another fella, an unnecessarily-aggressive beech reduction that I suppose, technically, you could call a topping that I'm actually fairly happy with, a butchered birch "back to previous cutting points" that I'll just try and forget, and an old-school topping of another birch that should've never happened. Poor thing.

 

Not my circus, not my monkeys, but my wallet is heavier than when I left the house this morning. 

Would I have done the same work flying under my own flag though? The middle birch, sure, it was someone else's mess to begin with... but probably not the beech or the other birch. There isn’t much point to this paragraph, so I'll end it here.

Can the council tell a private tree owner what to do with their tree in your area?
