we also working opposite this what was a lovely oak tree. needed to be reduced cause of its location but obviously they got the cowboys in to do it.

 

oh man, never ceases to amaze, i do think that the public sees this so often that they think this is the norm.

some builders cut an old womans trees in a conservation area in edinburgh (pollarded her limes) and for the first time ever i think the builders were in trouble, instead of the owner, perhaps they were properly taking advantage tho...

sure, 90 percent of our work is in conservation areas, where we wouldnt dare.

If thats what the customer wants....

How could they do that?

 

True pollarding is an ancient practice that works really well.
