Two large black Poplars to remove.....

[Pete Curwood]

Hi all,

 

This is my first post on here, so please forgive me if it's wrong, not witty, or generally dull!!

 

I am removing two large black poplars for a client in Maidstone (Kent); they have to be section felled due to proximity to buildings & various buried services. Does anyone have any suggestions for companies in the Mid-Kent region that would either use / recycle this sort of wood waste? I know I can get rid via muck away / grab lorries, but I hate just throwing things in the ground and having to pay through the nose for the privilege.

 

Many thanks,

 

Pete

Hi Pete, welcome to the forum, why not just leave the timber for the firewood fairy's, it will go overnight.

Hi,

 

Normally that would be option number one, but it's in the middle of Maidstone where there's hardly more than one open fire per square mile, and the site is in the middle of a guarded business park.

 

Thanks though

Totaly off topic but is the same Peter Curwood who worked at fountains many moons ago, we were the Northerners who came down for the grid work and then came to yourself on the railway work when the foot and mouth took hold in 2001

Not that it matters but black poplar is quite a rare tree, I could be wrong but I would be surprised if they really are black poplar.

Evening all,

 

Leyburn Lad - yes it's me, the one and the same. Which one of the "Hard Northern B******s" are you? And it was one of your lads who introduced you all like that. You're not the one that had a lunchtime "gentleman's excuse me" in the back of the transit van with a copy of FHM are you?

 

daveindales - that's what i first thought, but the business park is built on an old railway sidings yard, and they used to plant Black Poplars alongside the railway in the good old days.

No it wasnt me and the copy of FHM, unfair to name and shame on here:lol:

 

The names Jason Smith we were the Hexam squads that came down to show you boys what Utility Arb was all about and what a proper pint of beer looked like:laugh1:

 

I'll stick a picture on here from a job we did for you on the railways, it was a call out when the ballast shoulder collapsed and left the line hanging in the air, you'll reconise the faces once you look. I think it was somewhere near the North Circular.

Hi Jason,

 

Good to hear from you mate. Glad things are working out well for you. You had a great bunch of lads with you there, good for the crack too.

 

I think you guys got lumped with the jobs around Chislehurst junction, with those tricky poplars over the sub-station. The call out job with the "floating track" was just off the A20 near Hither Green.

 

Am very glad to say i'm still drinking "man's beer" and haven't gone back to lager since, apart from the odd one with a curry or bar-b-q.

 

You working for yourself now? How busy are you?

[Leyburn Lad]

Yes been back for myself for about three years now, mainly subbing on the power lines and some commercial stuff, been a quite January but starting to pick up now. We've been on the Edf contract for the now defunct blue machine, what are you up to now?
