Threads like these are the reason I hardly spend time on here anymore. Its horrid seeing people you know and admire fall out with one another.

not at all fella, at the end of the day this guy cleary has a passion for the BS 3998 but missed the boat on adding his comments to the meetings on the draft.

 

tony has made valid points regarding the ambiguousness of what is a broad and abused terminology. We as arbs may take it for granted what we do is after all second nature, but for a non practical observer of the article "crown cleaning" is about as much use as a wet paper bag in a rain storm

Well I agree with the OP.

 

Why over complicate things.

 

Its either crown thin,crown reduction, deadwood or for about 0.0005% of my customers a crown clean.

 

 

Since I hardly ever get asked to do a deadwood, never mind a crown clean its not going to have much of an impact on my working life!

I actually agree the term is poor. What John Hancock just said. But why the snidey comments towards TC ? I know everyone talks about each other from this site, worse than a bunch of women!

I often use the 'crown clean' terminology,also explaining what that will entail regarding the specific job in hand,yes it is a loose description,but backed up with an explanation it helps a client focus on a certain aspect of what I am quoting for.

I dont see it as a specification,just a way of comunicating in precis after explaining the specific aplication to the tree it is aplied to.

So weeks after quoting on various trees on one contract If asked what in what order do I want (or the client wants)to proceed I can say crown clean the relevent tree as per specs on quote.

Works for me & keeps it simple for the client.

I had £950 on it, not so funny now Mr Bumble:sneaky2:

 

For an extra £250 i was going to wax and Tree-Cut it:laugh1:

 

When you get to fell those big old ones,a quick squirt of wd40 in the gob cut stops the hinge from creaking too!
