  21. the scar down the side was seen but the actuall hole was under long grass.i was shown the job by a photo on the guys phone.it was a very small part of a large contract for the contractor and i think it was a case of.. 'can you do something about that oak'... 'yeah il send someone up...anyway what else do you want doing£££££'
  22. it wasnt my job,i was just asked to subby on it by a landscaping firm, but on arivall and the proximity of the existing and new targets i thought i should suggest felling due to the size of the cavity which was unseen when the tree was looked at
  23. it certainly is
  24. quite a fun one this,the extent of the cavity inside was huge.the site is being redeveloped for use as a offices and yard for a surfacing company.i suggested felling but this wasnt an option for the moment
