    About me

    Hello Arbtalk. As I understand things I can sit here all I like and complain about work but unless I speak up one is going to help me out. My name is Lewis. I am 24. And based in wilts/north dorset. I have been working in landscaping/tree surgery/ fencing for the past 4 years. But, the tree work is my real passion. I have grown up around trees, with my father being a life long forester. I currently hold CS 30,31,38,39. And first aid at work. But am open to learning more and just about to book 32 also thinking about taking UA tickets. Basically I am always looking for work mainly groundwork but would love an opportunity for more climbing work. So if any of you are looking for a hand keep me in mind. Give me a PM. Sent using
  20. Ah I see if your buying in small quantities why it cost so much. How much Vat are you paying on a load. 5 or 20% Sent using
  21. Wow. That sounds a lot to me. Most firewood people I know/worked for cord wood by the lorry load. Last year paying max £50 per tonne. Good hazel and birch fire wood that my dad sold last winter was around £36 at roadside. Sent using
