What a nice Tree Officer

[Treewarrior]

Just got off the phone from a very nice Tree Officer who made the effort to compliment me on my professional work attitude.

 

A client had rang, stating that he had a 6' branch, 6" diameter, sticking out of a large Sycamore Tree with a TPO. The gusts last week had snapped said branch and it was looking awful. Could I come over and have a look?

 

He stated that he had spoken to the Council and they said it was ok to have the work done. Did they have it in writing I asked, no was the reply, so I duly checked, cannot afford any bad publicity or fine and was informed it was ok.

 

The client then told me he had had a quote for £400.00 to remove the branch!! Shame on you whoever you are, no names will be mentioned.

 

Accessed tree carefully with climbing line. Positioned myself for 3 small cuts and tidied up. 25 mins work. I quoted him £80.00 as I had travelled 20 miles on the recommendation of his friend.

 

Client gave me £100.00:thumbup:

 

The officer has been roud today to check that I had done the work and has recommended further deadwooding work on tree would be appropriate.

 

Things nearly always come up trumps when you are honest!!!!!!!!
