  1. You probably need an American site lots of your trees won’t be hardy over here in uk, but you might be lucky
  2. You don’t say where you are my guess look at alianthus
  3. Those blades are f….u…..c….k….e….d they need to be very sharp to work,if it’s shutting down the only auto shut down on the machine is for low oil try disconnecting the wires to the off switch don’t blame me if it siezed check oil level on dipstick first
  4. Highly talented impressive more worried wife loves it
  5. Suggest,blades not sharp, engine running on choke, old fuel, blocked air filter, knackered machine
  6. Looks like it’s in a raised bed, not looking good try to scratch the bark with your thumb nail keep trying down the trunk till you get to the soil if it’s green underneath you may have a chance, but in my view it’s showing advanced stage terminal necrosis
  7. As I have been informed they can try to come in, you tell them to jog on and then they need to go to court to gain access, remembering we are talking about pruning trees there fore once you have cut back to the boundary the nuisance no longer exists if you are right then there was no need for the high hedges legislation as you would just be able to pop next door and cut it down.
  8. Your quotes mention courts do you not need to go to court to gain permission to abate the nuisance
  9. A stone rake is not a box rake you can hire 2.4 m version to go behind a tractor makes large areas easy
  10. Reading this it seems you cannot access land that is not in your possession you require a court order and all the time and expense it involves the cost cannot be passed to the land owner and from my own experience you can demand surveyors and quite high indemnities before work starts, please show where you are allowed to access with out the owners/ occupiers permission and if you read section c it is pretty clear you cannot carry out works just because you want to. my local council wanted to access my parents garden,remove a tree and lay a pipe. To benefit adjacent property I have looked into this in some detail
  11. Why they have previous
  12. Care to enlighten me as I understand the law it would require a court order to do so
  13. Anyone on here work this area I have days work taking out small poplar and some shrubs will need chipping and clearing away
  14. Do you mean stone rake or power box rake forget stone rake. power box if moisture is correct will leave respectable finish better if power harrowed first, with clod board .don’t use rotavator or stone burier. Make sure you don’t over work or destructure the soil by being heavy handed with digger
  15. I’d take the offer
  16. Probably going to have to hire machine and operator few I can’t think of a hire company that would have a clue about what your trying to do they just hire diggers
  17. Looks genuine 23 yrs old so parts might be a problem
  18. Perhaps too hot to post!
  19. An old hatter rotary mower and just level it rake off few goes and ivy will give up
  20. If you really must spend some money, buy a really good high profile job go in low put out your boards and sign written truck and don’t cock it up, I believe you would get better results than Yell,plus a good reference for later customers
  21. What happened to the contractor who dropped poplar on cars in housing estate?
  22. If you are in the doctors cartel and you **************** up they kick you out, if your in the AA they take tell you your a “naughty boy” and then take your money. Can anyone tell me if a AA member has been refused renewal due to poor quality work
  23. So mark the ones you can see and call the trees you don’t first thining, you will need to thin anyway if the bramble is taller than the trees you have left it too late. just have to take the hit and mow the tree. at the stage you are replant is easy and you can chose species that have done well, don’t think there is a method to save all the saplings, you will need to carry this operation out for next few years if the trees are not regular rows might as well cut into rows and beat up to make numbers back for your grant or you will just be making life difficult, a weekend with the mates playing in your plantation could be called fun depending on bq and beer but not for many weekends over next five years
  24. Get a decent brush cutter and a flail pedestrian or tractor, then carefully cut around the trees, leave some where the trees have failed, cut carefully by hand round the actual trunks,with a hook. It’s going to take along time first time round but gets quicker the more you do or spray in a afternoon with glyphosate!
