Do you still work on the tree if cars are parked under it or not? I do if I know I won't hit them. But came across a pollarded maple with about 10 years growth to re - pollard and all I can if to drop it in big sections.. waiting until tomorrow for when the vehicles move

Don't know about now, but years ago certain people would deliberately park their cars under the trees with signs warning them not to, because we were "killing the trees" etc, loads of heated aggro:thumbdown:

Depends. Sometimes start a job and they will panic shift em for you. Other times they are hoping for compo.

If it was a neighbours greenhouse you would take appropriate care as it won't shift that easy but it will break.

You don't want the job to be harder than neccasary yet you don't want to waste time hanging around. Each situation as you judge best. Can you get there early and park first?
