Get on the phone , fell the rubbish tree and go buy something shiny:thumbup:

 

I tell ya, I was tempted. It would be a good wedge toward getting a roof on my extension.

 

And Wolfman, I could do with some of that good karma mojo at the mo!

Welllllllll, I'm on the verge of prostituting myself. I've given him 2 prices - one to raise canopy and remove the few dead limbs, thereby leaving something safe and attractive, and another price to fell it. I'm hoping he goes for the first, but the bank manager (wife) is hoping he goes for the second.

I do think its a shame at times about why customers want a tree out, sometimes when you have to remove a perfectly formed tree thats stood for many years for the sake of customer preferance,,, especially when the customer would rather look at a fence line at the end of their garden rather than an established healthy tree. As much as I respect trees most of the time I'd still go for the job, being an arborist is a job not a hobby and if they are adament they want it done then they'll just get someone else in anyway. Would always try to suggest an alternative though.

You could have said I'll fell the tree then offer to replant something more suitable. You wouldn't feel so guilty and you get to charge extra for the supply and planting? Everyone's happy!

There are a lot of young trees, bigger than anything that would be easy to buy without costing thousand, already growing in his field on the boundary line with the road, so it's not completely doom and gloom. It's just that they won't be anything like the one he wants felled for at least another 30 years or more.

 

I should know by tomorrow what he wants to do. Still hoping it's the raising canopy option.
