You know I’ve got no tickets, right? 🤣

But you have all the gear!

Just planted a holm oak pleached hedge at 4m tall worked out at £1850/m installed 

hire with a arb digger or tracked chipper would need a o licence to deliver the machine, it’s all about making sure that the person driving and answering the phone know what to say

herts police told us the bandit chipper was plant and therefore ok to tow 

Depends when you are going to move if now trim if next winter cut the roots and just formative prune the top

1000mm diameter root ball maybe a bit large take a spade and tread it in to full depth 200 mm on each side water well during summer then move next spring with as much soil as possible 

Better picture please clear away the weeds at the base

Always thought a board outside the job was best these always look a bit fishy

Not very professional tree work.

If the sub station is as close as it looks then it would be done for free by the distribution company and it's not really promoting good practice in a tree of that species and age now is it....

 

No need for a job like that . Poor tree.

You really think that the distribution co would have done a neat job ! Get to the real world

Yep.

We go places where armed guards regularly search vehicles etc upon entry.

Mostly private property's but we do go out and do over public areas sometimes.😂

There has always been dreamers and contractors who do don’t shout about it!!!

Have you actually tested the water content?

Only problem is no commercial can’t claim vat as not carrying enough no chassis cab version as it has got through vehicle reg by the back door so only small production run allowed 

it’s not the vehicle they said they would produce it’s just a Chelsea tractor on steroids

What are you actually wanting to prevent ?.

Not that simple, more information as to where, what your trying to stop

I've subbed a few big boys over the years and not once have I been left without the payments.

Yes work has stopped but not without notice period.

Maybe BGM is a pain in their arse complaining about prices so they fu##ed him off.... There's usually two sides to these problems.

I take it then you haven’t worked for ground control 

Don’t take ropes if they been used just take your personal harness, gear and make sure it’s spotless 

good friend took all his gear having had it cleaned and bagged most didn’t make it past customs, possibly depends on officer and what day he is having

Subbed for 4 yrs as a field team,  started off sort of ok, i did question the cost per site visit which is very tight given you need address all areas of landscape maintenance. They gradually gave us more and more sites , most without any consultation, eventually we no time for other works , taken over by ground control after a couple years, often management not well informed of changes,  wrong information.

Eventually in a meeting last December they took all our sites off us for no solid reason,  left my business in dire straits,  it supports myself and wife, who is disabled,  my youngest son, and my eldests and his family.

  No warnings, no meeting prior to this event.

I think they build up a good round with subbies over time, then shelve them, then give to a team directly employed. 

Very immoral business ethics.

steer clear!!

They just had someone who did it cheaper GC are notorious for this and extremely economical with the truth 

Five of my six off to hydrotherapy with the oldest, half hour of absolute mayhem .
