I priced it..but someone else got it!

right fella's...am I the only one that takes perverse satisfaction when I price up a job...don't get it...and drive by a week later and see a butchered tree?

 

The spec for this Oak was going to be a 20% crown reduction and 10% thin...they elected for the £100 cheaper option...'cut the top off and watch it get so thick it'll need thinning next summer'

 

pay peanuts = get monkeys

I'd call it the dandelion clock cut. I too would be smiling

O Oh was it your competitive price?

[Gary Prentice]

You can't teach stupid...............

 

I love customers who are prepared to listen, who accept advice and who are prepared to pay a little more for what's best for the tree and ultimately for themselves. Do they think their tree is going to be any different to the pole next door?

[sloth]

I reckon up to 80% of reductions round my way look like that. Generally the customer is happy too, 'loads more light'!

[price steve]

[Mark Bolam]

We've all had it mate.

Customers happy to pay for work like that are customers I'm more than happy to lose.

 

For the record, Felix did it with some ladders, but I don't want to grass him up.
