    Not sure, neither me or marc who was working with me on this job could decide what the stump was. It was tucked right behind a very established conifer hedge so i think the tree must been taken down a good while ago.

    You can see from this pic where I wanted to reduce back too but no explaining could persuade, so i had to take it back a little further!

    Thought its about time that I put a pic of some of my work up and await the abuse. These are from last summer, a reduction on a oak. Its a bit harder than what i wanted to do but the customer wanted the tree in half so this was the compromise! There was a lot of epicormic growth through out the crown which they wanted removing. Ill take a pic of the tree in a couple of months to see how its reacted!

    When I started quoting I quoted low for small jobs to get the work and then acouple of times with other customers when I was called back to look at bigger workin there gardens they nearly fell over with shock when i told them the price and thought I was ripping them off. If I had of quoted the original jobs a bit higher id of still have got them and I wouldnt of put my self in an awkward position when i quoted for the larger jobs.

    Transit tipper + 6in chipper may well be there for longer but larger machinery will do it quicker but the cost of these larger machines is more so there shouldn't be that much of a difference in price.
  17. Arborist
    Got to price at least £100. I know of a couple of firms that wont do any small jobs for less than £150+vat
