went ahead and got it done today, and good to see that my work fell into all the suggested criteria, in the main. Thanks for all your feedback, i'll post a picture before n after of the work, subtle as it was later when camera battery is charged.

thank you, i was looking forward to this job, (and i need the money!!), your knowledge has put me at ease now.

thanks, mainly the customer wants to reduce the "body" of it to prevent it intruding into neighbors garden, and to keep it under control, the amount removed was to be at the customers preference, to remove a little and to stop when she was happy, within reason. Am i being overly concerned about the bleeding factor?

Morning, Can anyone offer any advice/guidelines on pruning a birch today, i have done some research and am concerned about causing harm with respect to bleeding at this time of year, it is very healthy about 12 to 15 years old and approx 20cm DBH. Thanks for taking time to read/help.

there website has logo use details, candidate number and scan of certificate are the requirements, they are happy to help and will issue a logo file download.

fair play and thanks, no offence taken, touchy because i'm new to the game, and inexperienced, but want to get on well in the right way, with people that do it right. i take a similar stand in getting points across when its important.

trust me, i'm looking to earn a living in a safe and professional manner, i'm not undercutting, i price for my needs, as i said i was asking for some help and perhaps a bit of guidance on something that was of concern to me, that i knew little about, not permission, trust me on that too. i'm sorry that you feel the need to be patronizing.

cheers Rupe, so common sense, study, ask questions and eliminate risk as best i can. Can i operate without a chapter 8 / relevent course certificate, as today £500.00 plus is a stretch.

no it was my job, first time i'd infringed on a public area, hence my concern, and need of guidance.

well, i'll be, i must of got it right then.

didn't do it because i didn't have the sign, tapes and cones, i was the groundie, and took charge from pavement, and yes the job was just an extra "little" one after working in the back garden.

great thanks for that, would like to get ticket really, wasn't to comfortable yesterday as trees, albeit very small, leaned across public pathway, would have liked to cordon off an emergency drop/risk zone. There can be no harm in doing this without ticket to begin with, in rare instances such as yesterday, i am thinking ,so a safe bet has got to be to get a sign, cones and tape.

what about signage and cones on footpaths, to warn public, i.e yesterday i was removing a laurel from a customers front garden, do i need qualification and training for this?

terrific bolt, thanks so much.

ok thanks, is there a course and qualification that needs to be attained?
