Fun in the sun with conifers

Well I undersold the job by 5 man days but at least we all ended with a sence of humour. Thoroughly enjoyed the last day.

Hedge was over 100 mtr long in all. At least I now know to aim 2 men 20 mtr a day (ish.)

 

I know these are not interesting for most of you but I generally enjoyed the job. Previously cut well by someone but they left one side stumps 5 feet higher than the other side. I didn't correct it but told customer I would next time.

Years ago we had a great name for conifer hedge reducing etc, word spread like wild fire, it would have been nothing for us to get 4 calls a day for large conifer hedge reducing...:cussing:

I only wish I was busy enough to turn the work away. I dont mind them when they are big and accesable like this job, but all to often they seem to have been flat topped about 20 times and are about 20 feet across the top. Customers always seem to want a neat hedge from them. I have turned 1 job down but did offer to remove and replant. Their expectations were nowhere near possible.
