'Purely from a practical point of view however, I can give a bit of advice on where not to plant trees.

 

Firstly, just like puppies, trees tend to grow. So think about sunlight being blocked out of your kitchen in 20 years time.

 

Trees also have roots, these travel a long way and have scant respect for foundations, let alone drains.

 

Think about diseases, plant a tree that’s not likely to need felling in 10 years.

 

Then there’s shade. My garden has a fantastic view, when we moved in it was a jungle so we cut everything down in order to revel in the fabulous bucolic splendour. Now I wish I’d not been so hasty, we don’t have a scrap of shade.

 

Don’t forget, if you’re contemplating felling a tree, there may be a preservation order on it. Cut it down and you’ll be fined and have to plant another in it’s place.

 

Lastly, if I was to plant a tree, I’d plant a useful one. A pear tree perhaps, I’m fond of a nice juicy…………..Oh grow up for God's sake!'

 

I am glade that the person that is clamping down on cowboys has got all his facts right......../not

 

Which part of that do you have a problem with???????????

 

It sounds like pretty good advice to me.

not a problem with the advice, but it does annoy me when the customer thinks they know about pricing tree work just cause they read up somewhere on line or a mate of theirs has taken a guess at how much he thinks it should cost, how longs a piece of string and day rates differ depending on kit/ overheads.

The advice is not totaly wrong, but it is not right either.

Tree roots do cause problems with footings, but how often ? In fifteen years i have not come across this problem.

 

Trees do get diseases, but not very often, and most can be solved and are not fatal.

 

If you plant a tree right infront of a window it will block out light, but how many people even stupid people plant a tree right in front of a window.

 

Bear in mind this is a website trying to solve the probems of cowboys in out industry, and is not a joking matter

Lee them quotes you posted sound like a tv host from the 60's over here in the states call Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood. A child like show for children on the dopy side of life.

The price one gets for work is the price agreed between Two willing parties. Anything more than that is really conjecture and speculation at best and at worse a load of BS.
