  1. isn't it more natural for a oak tree to have those big rips in them? If you see them when they occur naturally they don't really sucker up that much... thoughts please
  2. I'm not doing any emoticons (or whatever they are called) as I really don't know what to think of this.
  3. Bulldog with wooden handle, got a bunch of the yellow fibre glass jobbies.. and they exploded on us.
  4. It's hypothetical, because we don't take off large limbs at critical parts of the tree!! Yeah that's right!
  5. It's good if you can have a climbing frame to launch yourself from, esp. if it's got a long drop on the rope :thumbup::thumbup:
  6. Is it worth doing a small ad to keep in there, as some clients can only find your name in there? Hmmm!
  7. Look up ABI tree root agreement. Will cover the claimant for one incidence of heave, without the tree owners insurance being affected (I think)
  8. That dosh could go along way to a really nice advert on the truck and chipper the stumpy even the chainsaws, some nice fleece's, some hoodies.... you get the idea
  9. Cool that's all sorted then:thumbup:
  10. These prices include the removal of all timber and arisings within reason, unless stated.
  11. I think we are covered by the ABI Root Agreement. There will always be heave, it's just the degree to which it will happen, and I'm sure geo technical engineers would charge a pretty penny for their job title alone:laugh1:
  12. I'm talking about just painting the hardwood and not going to the edges? Isn't hardwood 'dead' so to speak.
  13. It's not tracked, but it is a beast.
  14. The black poplar has been knocked back hard for years, it's just a standing stem. It's not his house he's concerned about. And yes I will get some one in to write the report... I was looking at another thread on heave.. someone quoted that if the tree dies naturally - you would have to deal with the consequences anyway. Oh and by the way the houses were built in 1998, so I would suspect the house's should have proper foundations anyway
  15. One thing is for certain...we WONT be able to climb the tree in my avatar sadly...(prob/poss the tallest tree in cornwall)..... .... cos you felled it!!!!!
  16. Q: Aiight bredrin duz it cum wi da blingin turbo whistler fingy in da rudeboi xhaust? A: na man, me got it confiskated by da 5-0 4 been diss
  17. I've got a client who wants me to take down a black poplar (Standing stem - pollarded frequently) and a medium sized italian poplar, they are about 10m from properties. He is concerned that the owners of the houses may get heave in a few years time. He was told 8 years ago to take them down in stages, I've heard this was a bit of a money making scheme dreamt up by someone. Will there be heave? He wants me to put it down in writing that there will be no damage. I don't think I can do that, as I am unsure, and I'm not qualified. Any ideas?
  18. Perhaps the rot won't set into the tree?
  19. I know it's bad for the tree, and probably spells the death nell for the tree... but, hypothetically, if you had to take a large limb of at a critical point of the tree, eg. main trunk, the rot will start setting in before the wound wood can do it's stuff... what is the reckoning of painting the heartwood with arbtex(? or what ever it was, before my time) up to around 15 years worth of growth rings, short of the edges? The idea is to protect the heartwood, but not go to the edges with the protective paint, thus allowing the pathogens to move freely, so the wound wood would meet the arbtex in a shorter time thu saving the heartwood form rotting. If I haven't explained this well, I could maybe draw a picture Thoughts please... pro's and con's
  20. Are you going to be top, guaranteed? If not, then there are a lot of other people advertising on Yell... and who uses yell anyway, do you use it? 70%+ use google. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/business-management/9068-yell-com.html
  21. Buy a service manual from any dealer.. they are indispensable
  22. Americans.... the art of doing nothing... down to a tee.. YouTube - cttreeclimber's Channel
