Pete Mctree told me about using those straps for split trees, I had never considered it before, silly me.

75? ..........you gotta be taking the piss mate!do you pay insurance or tax ?

 

I pay both its not a choice unfortunatly limited hight tho. But there is no need to rip people off. That particular job took hour and a quater with a cup of tea. Add up say 5 in a day and it dont look so bad now does it. Plus my man its winter work goes quiet so out come the cheap prices.

Hey again yes honesltly i only takes about that for a reduction for trees this size. Once im roped up top the rest is all down hill set my reduction level at the top and just spiral down. i have some one clear up whilst i cut.

 

I have my groundsman time me most the time so i get to jobs ontime. I appreciate your comments and would love to learn how others go about climbing.

 

Oh an i figure every job i quote i wanna get so i price accordingly dont get me wrong some times i blow my own asse off but im a newer company its all learning.

Having a groundie doubled the manhours. It really took 2.5 hours. Don't forget that.

Thats not quiet how it works no one works alone. Ok i cut the tree in under an hour and had cleared what was left with my groundie if were being technical sonny. A job like that would take 2.5 hours maybe if i had no arms lol.

Some of my reduction work, nothing massive really, I only seem to get pics of the more mundane stuff.

 

First pic is a horse chesnut 25% reduction, it does'nt look like I removed much but I took about 6-8 foot allround, this tree will be repeatedly reduce every 5 years so its important to not remove to much and to keep the trees flow and form to make future reductions easy. Time to do 1h 40m

 

Second pic is a before and after of a Eucalyptus, this was as about an extreme a reduction as I will do 30%ish, its to appease the neighbours and improve the light. This tree had already been reduced 5 years earlier. Time: 1 hour 15m even with lowering some branches over neighbours.

 

3rd pic a Gledistia, 10% this job was more to try and repair the previous topping it had, and to contain it in its current size, it has been done 3 times before, once very badly! This job was a pain in the ass, it had gone mad because of poor pruning basically a high pollard. I think it came out good though. Time nearly 2 hours
