Has one died at the end of the row? They have been well and truly butchered?

I always find this faux horror at other people's work a bit of a yawn.

There's one on here recently where someone posted some pics of a tree he quoted for and had been "butchered" by some awful Arb criminal The guy who did it came on and gave the valid reasons why he had done it (previous pollard points, client spec, location etc)

Made the OP look a bit daft.

To be honest, Ash always look pretty crap after any kind of reduction.

I dont think theres any excuse for that type of work its all over the show, and ive reduced many an ash without it looking crap as I'm sure many other's have !!

[Mark Bolam]

Yeah they all look so much better reduced than untouched, and respond so well to it.

My original point was not really directed at the standard of work but more so towards the Local Authority for taking any action as these trees are covered by Tree Preservation Orders

If you call that a reduction !!

[Orchard gm]

Our tree officer is quite strict with what he allows people to do, however he is realistic! Years ago we crown lifted a row of chestnuts as the customer complained that the bin wagon kept catching them and breaking bits off! We did the work and then got a call from the tree officer, he said he was happy with the work done and would not take it any further, however if you had started crown reducing etc he would have been. The council if nothing else should be contacting them and giving the company a talking to.

Are we allowed to post photo's and criticise others work (regardless of how bad it is)?

Just been down near Darlington to look at birch fell and look what I came across on the roadside...... I could be wrong but I'm sure that's not 'Cobra'...
