Removing healthy trees

[haforbes]

When a customer asks for a perfectly healthy larger tree to be removed how do you deal with it? Push for an alternative? Refuse? Or just get on with it before someone else does?

[Stubby]

Just do it or someone else will .

90% of arb work is removing healthy trees, get used to it or change jobs would be my advice

Get on with it or go hug a bunny. Cuddling trees doesn't pay bills. That's why we do it all. It's all what the customer wants. There the ones paying at the end of the day.

Of course you can offer advice/ suggestions, but if they want it gone get it on the deck. ( I've walked away from a couple of jobs over the years, but hey were exceptional trees).

Usually unload a big saw.

I try and give them other options and have once persued the tree protection route with the local council for a native tree, but when no one wanted to know about it I went ahead and did it. After we removed the tree the client remarked how exposed they were to the neighbours now.. Yes.. Just like I said you would be.. *facepalm*

Cheers for the replies, mostly helpful.....some not so much:)!

 

Reason for asking is I've just been to look at a job that someone else refused to do, it's a nice beech but not out of the ordinary. Just thought it was a bit unusual

Talk them into a thin, then a reduction followed by a reduction then some cable bracing.

 

You only earn once from a felling:thumbup1:
