Quel cauchemar !

Have cut it for the last 20 years think I would have learnt by now, but always do a too good of a job. 

It one hedge I would love to ground level.

"You seem to have built an enormous raised bed across the middle of the garden since I quoted"

"Ah yes. Will that be in your way then?"

 

I didn't know what to say really, went for "well at least its not a greenhouse ". Rather than "FFS, we'll just rig everything into the postage stamp size drop zone we have left"

If only they hadn't have filled it with compost already, you could have stuffed it for them hugelkulture-style as you go.

I trust you applied TWAT tax at 50% Dan?

Another mixed bag of a week

 

moving kit back from a little clearance job on a building site

 

taking out a pretty much dead mac with the roto

 

moving an 8m tall 5 tonne taxodium

All the toys out today cutting back these truly hideous conifers beside my mates garden.

 

Thanks @Will C for the tip about ripping stokboard into 3 and securing them with 6 inch nails.

Worked a treat.

 

4 stupid loads of chip out, shifting timber tomorrow, then back Monday.

I didn't, but didn't rig any wood down so there are a couple of dents in the lawn, nothing too drastic.

 

To be fair we had two days money on and got it done in two days. Chip into dumper and drive it through the narrow gap.
