Large Cedar Dilemma

[TIMON]

We've just booked in a dismantle/removal of a large mature cedar. Tree is about 150 yrs old and in great shape. There are no preservation orders on it, the new owner of the property simply wants it gone.

Because of our charitable status and the work we do the customer is keen for us to do the work and he is paying a (very) good price for the work.

We are not short of work and business is good. I really don't like the idea of removing a beautiful healthy tree. If we don't take the job then another firm will do the work so the tree is coming down one way or another.

What would you do?

Sometimes it's difficult to not get a little bewildered about things on here.

 

Clients tree, client wants it out, you're a tree company, so do it.

don't tell delabodge, he'll want the wood.

 

something that old should be milled.

Ti, have you discussed a crown reduction option with the client?

 

Any pics? Cedar of Lebanon?

This is the next logical step...

My oppo did the quote so I don't have any pics. We're going round to see him tomorrow to do another job so I'll post some pics.

If we end up doing it the timber would be up for grabs. Would only be viable if someone were to mill it on site as it has to come out through the house.

You've got me thinking now Steve....

Thanks
