Choke point for access is a 2 1/2’ wide gate, which wouldn’t have come out without a load of mither, and felling some shrubs.

Muck truck is 28" wide.

 

Probably not helpful at this point.

Reminds me of a lad who used to subby a bit to me as he was setting himself up to go full time on his own - he wasn’t the best climber (but was a really decent likeable fella). 
Another subby ended up working for both of us and overheard him talking to a prospective new customers when quoting a (not very difficult) dismantle. His price included the caveat ‘Expect some damage’ said with a totally straight face 😂😂😂!

It became a bit of an in-joke when quoting awkward jobs - he was deadly serious though!

Joking aside Dan I’m always really honest about lawn damage.

When the difference between ‘none’ and ‘a few dents’ comes in at £1k we’re usually pretty good either way.

He wasn’t talking about the lawn….
