Really informative thread. Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

That last pic is brilliant for an idea of the scale. Get it up on your website gallery before someone else does!!!

Agree, but you forgot the lunge!

" a wind blown is nature at work often these trees redevelop with one dominant leader, a man with a chainsaw is less often able to replicate this."

 

I wonder if this is true?

 

Nature often fails at the work of restoring stability, and men and women with handsaws sometimes succeed. Yes one dominant leader is often preferable, but that is not a law. the species naturally goes decurrent with age; can that timetable be tweaked?

Yer climbed the last day for me as i had a little knock on the head after the 2nd day. Not on the job, but couldn't climb the final day.

Say hi from me next time you see him please, haven't seen him for ages.

 

Looked like a great job.

 

Hope the heads better!

Hopfully everyone knows roughly what was undertaken. It took 1 day a tree inc clearing up. I am being told despite before the work was carried out that it could take 3 days that I should have done the 2 height reduction trees with thins and dead woods in 1 day so they are trying to get away with paying 2 days.

Looking at what was done how many days do you think 2 people would take to do this realistically.
