How much are the Stretch airs usually?
-
Great pictures, i love crane jobs only ever done two. I should imagine it's even more fun as a climber though quite hectic as groundie
-
I would have taken the two on outsides out and kept the nice single stemmed one in centre

It all depends on what type of person they are, if you explain, and give your professional advice I'd say 90% of our customers take our advice but if they are set on what they want we give them a price for thin and crown lift and a crown reduction and it's always more expensive to reduce a tree they usually end up going with the cheaper option anyway. If they go with someone else then so be it, it's our reputation on the line.

At the field i rent for my horses there is a row of mature oak trees that the neighbour had butchered so they had more light in their garden. I am currently trying to get get a tpo on the only decant tree left. i dead wooded it in the summer it's stunning. I'll take some pictures tomor and post them.

I don't agree with topping pines we always suggest crown lifting thinning etc. Or if there are a few picking the better specimens and taking out others. If all else fails suggest taking down and re planting. I've never in two years with James or Matt reduced a pine. We have taken down one that had been topped years and years ago and it was stag headed and decayed one third of the way down the main stem from where it had been topped.

I did the course last year, at Westonbirt it was every Monday. I gave up on the course three quarters of the way through due to me moving from Staffordshire to Surrey. The course is excellent, the teachers were great i learned so much in the time i was there.The course is highly recognized. The only thing i can say is i struggled with the traveling it was 11 by the time i got back of a evening and I'd leave at about 8:30 in the morn. I struggled for money with loosing a day's wage and to pass the course the amount of research and work you had to do per week with my lack of knowledge was ridiculous with a full time job and my horses and the kids at the week end. I didn't stand a chance. If you can dedicate your life to the course for a year then it is well worth it. I plan to do the course again next year as i still have all my notes! I'm working through them in my own time.

No didn't sell the wood it's still sitting in our yard somewhere. Started climbing just under two years ago now as and when there's time.
-
They were for lowering, sectioning limb bc as i was only one third way up and the limbs where so long.Couldn't drop anything.
-
Wow thanks guys, can't believe I've got my own thread!!! Cool. I will get bc to you all tomor night when i have more time
-
Sounds nice, how long you on that job?
-
How come you couldn't fell them?
-
Where abouts were you there? Did you have to take waste off site?
-
Couple months old. Unfortunately i have no more pictures of me on that job. Once top was out Matt had to run a load and we just forgot. They wanted it down because it was badly damaging their drive and wanted new drive way. Not alot more to say other than it was the first time I'd done rigging as a climber and i loved it! Only trouble is because I'm slower than Matt,we had to come bc next morn to pick up some dross and half load of logs. Luckily it was a Fri. Got to learn some time though.
-
I've never posted any pic's of me climbing before so here goes. Not quite as impressive as some of yours.
-
Platforms have their place, if a tree is stone dead as in our case and there are high risk targets then a platform has to be the way forward. However if you have what you consider to be a safe anchor point asin your case why not just climb the tree ? We did not have a high enough anchor point to reach the tips safetly.
-
Plus his balls have got bigger since he's been with me LOL
-
LOL i don't think Matt would ever get Steve in again after the jip he's got since. Besides it's cheaper to get platform
-
Ha Ha Ha

Go on then!
