    ive always thought a massive gallery, updated regular like, is a great advert for yourself, so people can see that you do this day in day out, almost like a photoblog. updating keeps your google ranking high too, if you do get a pro to do it ask him to show you how to update it with new pics.... mine was £400 btw

    looks like a nice bit of kit but... 'it worked last time we used it'!!! sounds ominous, when did they use it last?! and he has, i think, mispelt his name...

    man, edinburgh council can be a bit much. 4 years ago, a client asked me to come and thin some chestnut pollards, they hadnt been touched in 12 years. there were 5 of them... when we got there she confessed what had happened before; she did have another 6, but she got a surgeon repollard them. someone phone the council, the officers came out directly and fined het £1000 at tree! ordered her to remove the trees completely (loads more cost) and replant!!!! this is edinburgh council. getting her to remove what was left, man that was dumb...

    please contact mr. g hinshellwood at edinburgh council. hes in his big office in a £100million state of the art council building, decreeing 'none shall pollard'! i obviously have got a prob with pollard, how else can you stop yr cattle eating yer poles!?

    nice, that still works after a few years work? does sthil do anything like that?
  6. jonathan hall
    dunno! our chief tree officer happens to be a solicitor as well as being a arbourist. think he cooked it up. we just obey.

    not in this toon! edinburgh council blanket banned pollarding in conservation areas some time ago.

    :lol:dude, she saw that! thats compounding troubles! to give her credit shes trying to figure out why im looking at it, although its probably obvious why im not interested in 'netmums'.

    does it heat the handles off the exhaust? never used one, sounds toasty!

    sure, 90 percent of our work is in conservation areas, where we wouldnt dare. if your outside a conservation area do you just do as the client wants? we do have to make money. i get asked to do this alot and most of the time can convince the client not to... 'spose its the an age old question on this site...

    oh man, never ceases to amaze, i do think that the public sees this so often that they think this is the norm. some builders cut an old womans trees in a conservation area in edinburgh (pollarded her limes) and for the first time ever i think the builders were in trouble, instead of the owner, perhaps they were properly taking advantage tho...

    last big tree before holidays, local papers sending me a complete set as was historical tree... big chestnut, very exposed site, windy week, great client,paid on completion, if a little kettle shy. certainly more interesting than todays apple and pear trees.

    the fact it was beside a road means they could have extracted the wood with a big crane and made themselves a couple of extra bucks, if not it would keep the alaskan mill going for a few days! the saw dust from that might be round the 120" mark!

    lol, yeh i suppose i will! loads to learn from this site, been holding a chainsaw for 15 + years now and this website really got me excited again about the industry, my wife however is majorly annoyed with this discovery. and we are well above par!
  15. jonathan hall
    nice, thats how i try to be, nothing like working near home and not burning vast amounts of diesel, i do still keep on the occasional hedge if its close... very nice website btw, just had a wee peak...
  16. jonathan hall
    i never shouted that i was exceptional!!! but def. well above par!
  17. jonathan hall
    whats it like working where you are? good mix of work?
  18. jonathan hall
    yeh was a bit sweeping! sorry, theres loads of great climbersw in edinburgh, but theres a whole lot of gun show going on too...
  19. jonathan hall
    yes i work most (nearly all)my jobs with struan!!!

    nettle growth is more in line with that kind of management anyhow , isnt it? managing for insects, catapilers and the like. still makes me cringe seeing old hawthorns go over. great job tho, can i come and work for you? sounds like a job you can get your teeth stuck into, would love to get away from crown lifting limes, cleanning beechs, and endless hours of trying to blow twigs out of scottish pebble drives, avoiding closly quaffered lawns. before client comes home in their bmw x 5...

    plenty of work in cambridge? nice and mild there tho...sooo cold here. come work up here we could use some more tree surgeons here, there is plenty but most are a bit macho and without a clue...
  22. jonathan hall
    think they are cobnuts or hickory or tree of heaven, something with a big fruits... seriously though they just pruned off all the tops so they were the same height, nothing to do with powerlines, light, structual defects to the tree, twas bizzare
  23. jonathan hall

  24. jonathan hall
