I'm going to stick up a picture of a dog turd in a minute and ask how you would all deal with it.

Are we really so quick to write off a living thing? what of the biodiversity it generates in this concrete sea?

[Mark Bolam]

Trees have their place in the city Tone.

 

It's just outside of it....

 

For the record, I would pollard it. The fell and not replant comment was tongue in cheek.

 

I just don't think a tree with a mature height of 30m+ has any place in an urban garden.

 

Us arbs seem to love hacking back nature to line our pockets.

 

I don't. I get Rich and Ross in to do it for me!

30% reduction. It'll look great. 3 hours tops. Do it again in 5 years. Everything taken away and left super-tidy. £400 including vat.

Its tricky because were both talking about a tree that neither of us have seen, I would guess that myself and a groundie could do a 30% reduction on the Syc in 3 hours, If I wanted to stand a good chance of getting the job the I would price it at tad less than £200 all in if I wasnt to worried about getting the job then the price would be £250 and I can bet a pound to a pinch of pooh that it wouldnt come in.
