Rouge tree surgeons south lakes area

[Hodge]

I have just been to see a customer of mine who has been conned by a gang of dodgy tree surgeons. They knocked on the door and told her that her big Beech tree needed work doing, she told them she was getting her regular tree surgeon to do it and they said it was a danger to leave it as is and they could do it now, he shot up a ladder and cut the large limb off as he did it he told her to go and get £400!! Cash while they did the work. He cut the limb and it smashed her wall and gate post. They left a torn stub and said they would come back with a cherry picker to tdi the cut up?? That's because his ladder was leaning up on that bit?? They left all the waste and took £400 and left saying they would tidy up on their return. They have a green transit and gave her a business card with Ash tree surgeons or something like that. The phone does not get Answered when she calls. She has gone to the police and trading standards. She is an old lady who has been taken for a ride. Watch out folks there are some dodgy people around!!

Its robbery with criminal damage what ever way you look at it . Add on taking money under false pretenses they need to be shot , several times .

They bring in all these new rules and regs which makes the lives of us genuine arb guys harder, when you get numptys like this going around ruining trees and ripping off poor people. Makes you mad.
