    Why ? I don't normally do great big takedowns, I know my limits to what I can \ can't or will \ won't take on, I thought the idea of the forum was to seek advice, help or ideas.....I see I might be wrong. Also, I wanted the advice so I could make an informed decision on a request from a customer, rather than pass over the work, I would bring someone in to help......his was my 1st port of call. Thanks to those that have helped with there advice and points of view, it is very much appreciated

    They couldn't give me a definitive answer to that when i asked them, there is a drain manhole cover about 2m from the base, so i asked them the obvious..........it wasn't a concern, in the end they just said the leaves will block the guttering...........they also want all the smaller trees and shrubs from around the border of the property out, it's a nice mature garden, so i asked them why, especially as it will show the nice concrete panel fence of to its most beautiful...........all out !!!............so i figured its not my argument !!

    Hi all, Been out to look at a potential job today and i'd like some thoughts on it.... Its a large beech, situated inbetween two houses, 2 sheds directly underneath, multi stemmed, and reaching over onto roof zone. I wouldn't normally baulk at such a job, but its a little tricky with the situation and positioning. Ball park figures for takedown ? Is it a section down / rigging job or would you use a crane/plane or automobile ???:confused1 Photos enclosed...... Cheers, Mark

    I work mainly on my own, split between Landscape management, tree work and general garden maintenance. If i get a job that needs more than me, then i usually have a bank of people i can call on, although i am looking for a good climber as i'm kust getting to old an creaky for the big jobs , thats what a lifetime of working the land does to you Mark
