I love Ivy

[Steve Bullman]

This has to be the crappiest job i've had to tackle for a long long time.....i get some very nice tree work on this estate or i think i'd have walked away from this one. Spec is to remove the russian vine, and cut back the Ivy, trying to leave as much greenery as possible......tried to convince the client that it needed to be cut right back to the flintwork but he wasn't happy with that.

The end of day 1......a little bit of raking up to do tomorrow!!

Rather you than me!!!

Nice RQG18 there Steve, you set it up or did you have an operator

[ecolojim]

conifer 'killing' is never bad! conifer 'reducing' is hell!

 

what a job!! but I would have dragged the client up there to show them what it's probably started to do to the stone lattice work in the belltower windows.

 

I was reading something just recently about how such things as ivy and other assorted creepers can have a very destructive effect on buildings. something they do that just makes mortar crumble to dust. Will try and remember what it was I was reading
