Just imagine the whole of the uk is going to be watching you 65 million arm chair tree planters who could all do it better !

I doubt you would be allowed a digger within 100 m of the wall can you imagine the paperwork and box ticking plus the jobsworths that would be involved given I put mature oaks in at Nine Elms using the sites tower crane and they were over 20k and much much smaller

We thought given ground conditions heavy lift helicopter there is. £250 000 for a start unless we can borrow a sky crane find tree prepare 2/3 years work rootball prune, move excavate pit on ancient monument not cheap by hand plant water and look after allowance for failure how much would you do it for?
-
Not so sure. how much would you charge to replace it with the same species of similar size? we had a chat few weeks back came to 3/4 million as a starting figure

Out of the sky maybe but getting to the trees roots Put a bit of a seaweed feed in the water 10/15 ml per litre

You can get the certificate privately not sure of the cost

There is Chinese junk on eBay for 3k new I think the opico is better but 5k is more than I would pay

Look like they haven’t been watered and are suffering from wind desssication, too much top and too little root or available moisture water well and put up a wind break, mulch heavily and remove 1/3 of the branches either by tipping back or cutting at trunk. is it right tree right place probably too large a specimen if they fail try much smalller and a tree tube

Shouldn’t be a problem drop in new auger torque teeth if you bring it round will do it for you

There is a big difference between ground protection and bog mats, these 8 x 4 mats will just let the machine slid of if used in the wet, true mats are timber baulks bolted together if really wet I’ve used sleepers stitched together four / five is about as much as a three tonne digger can handle, then hay make your way out and back using as many as you can afford

Advantage don’t get blown off ,but tend to use ear defenders if windy, I find straps very uncomfortable to wear and having had an accident where the hat stayed on rather than letting go I’m not a fan
