Today's job

[RobArb]

This Sycamore was to be reduced by 30%. So here is another gripe! I know work like this keeps me in a job, but was the spec really necessary? The tree over the past few years has already been thinned twice so in retrospect there was not much left to reduce! Nobody lives in the house in the pic and it has been unoccupied while builders apparently are doing something to it AND it was built there with the trees already existing. So why do we pander to peoples complaints about the trees? Poor trees i say!

 

 

Don't get me wrong i'm not a tree hugging hippy, and some trees are definately in the way sometimes when it comes to health and safety but i think this was unnecessary.

 

 

Anyway, took till dinner, was a nice sunny morning and I don't think it looked to bad in the end.

 

The last four piccy's were me having a go at shadowlithing especially for Monkey-D:thumbup:

what do people think about reducing trees that don't need reducing?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

at least now it might shoot out from the inner canopy and give the next poor lopper a chance of doing a sensible job of it, twice thinned then reduced? would leave nothing to reduce to, the guy whos called the shots should have just felled it and put it out of its miserable existance.

Ditto Tone.

 

Although you did well to get out there on that skinny left-over canopy.

sentiments echoed here, but alas i do not call the shots:001_tongue: That is hopefully what my FdSc will allow me to do one day:thumbup:
