I couldn't spell constructive criticism but now I can quote you...

 

Why not a traditional reduction ?? is the end just inevitable ?? and you are just attempting to maximise opportunity for colonisation ? whilst also giving a nice gnarly decaying aesthetic...

Ok then, i understand its probably the way a lot of our job is going, ie unjustified work and appeasing naturists, but why do it if it isnt commercially viable?

I like a good natural fracture cut but its a risky one to spec if anyone else is going to do it. I often end up asking to see previous examples of their work, usually sorts the cans from the can'ts.

Its like a 'loss-leader', to borrow a hideous marketing term.

You're showing everyone in a high profile area what a careful and ecologically considerate company you are in the hope that they'll ask you to top out their leylandii hedge.
