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.

 

It's a fair cop, guv. I borrowed the ladders off you know who and a gypsy stick from Stevie Blair.

Your pruning technique is getting much better mate, six months ago that would have been half a yard lower!

 

 

Spike mate, there's loads of that sort of 'work' going on my round way too, it's the client's fault as much as the cutter.

Doesn't seem like the "tarmac and trim" brigade though. We treat a lot of housing association trees similarly. Cyclic pruning I believe its called. Whilst you and I may know that a more sensitive reduction would be more aesthetically pleasing to our eyes, this might have been exactly what the client was after, and for a better price.

 

I sometimes think that no matter how you try to describe the best course of action and how it will look, the client still has a picture of a "lollipop" tree in their minds.

 

Not knocking how you quoted, or what you would have done, but just food for thought. I have seen many a worse reduction!

I thought it might have been yours at first. Then I realised there were no MEWP scuffs on it.

love it!

 

Has Stevie noticed the copper wire you replaced the piston rings with after running the gypstic on neat petrol?

[Shane]

Was there no TPO on it? If there was I'd be interested to see what the TO thinks of it.
