Ripping the arse out of an urban back garden

[rowan lee]

I dont do this work for a living, but i really enjoy helping mates out and using my few bits of kit. Heres a few pictures from a wee one day job back in early march this year. Kit used on the day, oleo mac 725s with brushcutter head, ms 250 stihl saw, and hs81r stihl hedge trimmer.

(ps - im just posing with the chainsaw in one of those photos, i wear full ppe when operating).

Well cleared. Bit of grass seed and its a usable garden again. Nice one:thumbup:

Yeah, have to admit all the frost during the winter made the job a whole lot easier,

 

one point of note though:

 

learned a valuable lesson on this one, was using the hedge trimmer to remove the long ivy from the side walls, and realised there was a buried 220v power cable feeding the garage to the rear in the middle of it all. dont know how i didnt cut straight into it, but luckily noticed in time and proceded with caution. woild have been a nasty shock to the day

Rip the arse out of your garden?

 

Is that how you described the job on the estimate?

Should have dug a borehole and charged them for a survey instead then mate:laugh1:
