  2. Hi, I am looking for any recomendations for someone that has a Tree shear (with operator) and large chipper. the job is just in Herefordshire/Gloucester removing some 80ft conifers. any help appreciate. (if this is the wrong area mods, please move thanks!)
  3. how much of the stump did you grind? usually I try and grind the stump out completely, but I don't bother with roots if the they are under ground.

  10. [ame] [/ame] anyone had a go with a stump planer?
  11. Lets be honest your probably doing it to a better standard than alot of so called pro's personally I'm all for DIY the amount of time and money and new skills I have acquired along with a sense of self satisfaction is a great thing.
