I have done a insurance claim report but this will be my first type of impact/method statement report.the council told my client that any tree surgeon would be capable of doing the report. Just think they want the facts regarding the trees i.e. Size and in relation to where they will be after deck is assembled. I will only write what facts are visible concerning the trees just looking for advise on anything regarding the deck. Like already said not doing the deck and haven't meet the contractor so I don't know if he will be bothered about the trees when he's finished. Thanks for the offer I'm doing this as a favour to the client as done quite a bit of work already and got a lot more lined up next month.

All the trees in the garden are covered by Tpo's.

Got a call today from someone who I am doing some tree work for they are putting in a decking area and have to have planning permission. The area where the deck is to be installed has several trees. They have been asked by the council to supply a impact and method statement report. I am not doing the deck they have asked me if I can supply a report all they want are sizes of trees in the area of deck and where they are in relation to the garden. I asked if he or the contractor has any written plans for the deck and nothing has yet been drawn up. Is there anything I need to ask my client before going to draw this up. Will do a plan of the garden and trees involved sizes now and expected specimen sizes and where they are in the deck. I would of thought it would be better to submit plans for the deck to the council at the same time as the report to speed up the process. Any tips from anyone on how to build the deck to keep the trees managed i.e. Roots not being damaged and movement of deck as it's on a slope. Just trying to help my client out as I think this has not really been thought out properly yet with specifications of the deck.

He was selling a entec at the w/e on eBay got a message from them taken someone's account details over.

Just googled it appears to be a woodland fungus so won't have a dettermentral effect on the tree. Thanks all for your help

It was the only one saw the tree 2 weeks ago there was nothing then. Did have some small clusters of honey fungus about 3 years ago with a lot of Jews ear on a lot of deadwood in the crown which was dead wooded. Had a tree report on it at the time seeing the last lot of honey fungus. Tree has tpo and is a very large specimen and over a very busy main road so I am always keeping a eye on it. This did not look like the last honey fungus which had the collar on the stem.

here we try again

Had to do new thread to put on other picture. Hope this works.

got another picture today. wondered if it was a form of milk cap fungus?

no that's all I got will try to get another shot tomorrow. the stem did have white raised pimples all up the stem if that's any help.

Saw this today at base of Copper beech, I looked through my books cant find anything similar. Can anyone id this. Many thanks.

Had a jcb site master phone very basic calls and texts only. Stood up to all the abuise, fell out of trees, went into fishpond and never let me down.

Didn't see that in the pictures won't be bothering going any further thanks for all your help.ps anyone got a tw125 they are looking to sell?

He already told me buy it and do all the checks you want to when it's yours. Looks like its back to the drawing board and wait for the next one to come along.

This is the first time I've bided on eBay and I looked at his sellers and also his name he was selling under and got me thinking

He told me the chipper was serviced about a month ago but no other information forthcoming, I won't part with my cash unless fully satisfied it's genuine,been after one for a long time so I am very cautious when money is involved.

Don't know how to do that it's a timberwolf tw125 being sold in Gloucester,

I am looking at a chipper on eBay at the moment emailed the seller through eBay asking photos of the vin plate to see if I can try to check on the history but he told me he is not comfortable sending me the pictures started alarm bells, it may be a genuine sale but I am to over cautious these days, anyone know how I can check on machine history if I won the bid and went up there before I handed over the money, Thanks in advance

Saw this on a oak tree this week on the trunk and the base was soft could pull off the bark quite easily. thinking early stages of kretzs. black spots very small had to look very close to the trunk to see them and went up about 2mts. also noticed the small red patch anything to be concerned about. been reading about acute oak decline hopefully not this.

Thanks again for your help. Looks like he has spoke to acas and they have given him several options.all he wanted was his money and to draw a line under it.

Just out of interest his contract states he can't work for anyone which could conflict with his business for 12months so is he technically making him unemployable for this period. I have advised him to get contract checked out.

Thanks for the replies. He just feels he has been treated unfair and doesn't want to be screwed over one last time. I will let him know.
