what you say sounds right under bark is wavy white spore like lines so it is ded. what happens to larva and beetle in winter do they live in the tree. and is there no chemical you can use to spray to kill the critters off one of the trees is just getting to a nice size. i hate to see it get this. would winter tar oil sprayed on trunk stop them.

after 2014 if you wish to drive a comercial truck 7.5tonnes or over you need to do a CPC. if you are pulled over after that date without this then they can throw the book at you. you can do it as a three day course. then a refresher believe every 3 years. it has made my job a bit of a pain as if i want to hire a truck to do a job can not. so will have to include lorry and operator into costs

need a little info and help south norfolk council
hedgesparrow replied to littlerob's topic in Trees and the Law
if your friend owns the wood then you need to get hold of the TPO officer at the council arrange a site visit show the trees and if he is agreement that they are unsafe and need felling will give you the paperwork to go ahead. no need to get hold of the leader he will just pass it on and it will end up as bio waste in local incinerator this is the link for them http://www.south-norfolk.gov.uk/.../Planning-application_form_15.pdf -
what size is the hedge girth can you burn on site. you say need to clear 6mtr space how wide is hedge at present. have you any photos of job so we can look and give our opinion and can the digger not pull the brash back for you if it has to be cleared off site good 360 should be able to pull it back to then dump in a truck

if you are going to cut a lawn then you would check it for any stones eg using a rake just to clear any. if you had done all that and a stone did get picked up would you be liable for damage as you did a search of grass and removed any objects. interesting need as you say a begal
