i will agree they are paying me what i asked for a day and they are cleaning it up but it dont stop me moning about the dog rose in them(i dont mind bashing conys about but hate dog roses ) they hurt and they dont take long to fetch the blood out

If you're knocking the tops out of conifers,another old favourite of course is honeysuckle.If you dont see it up there when you quote,a 2 day job can easily go to 2 1\2 days.Nothing will give or drop without a lot more effort.

40+ foot drop into the beautiful deer park below. Why spoil the view with these bloody things!!!!!

i did one today. Only 6 trees to dismantle. A previous hedge, as I got into them I noticed probably the last 3 times or so it was topped whoever did the work stored it all in the top. Sort of like a walkway. Infact they had even gone to the trouble of wiring it up every foot or so. I ended up climbing with silky, 020 and a pair of wire snips. I reckon it probably took about 2 hours extra just to snip wire and get the debris out.

 

Nightmare and slow going.
