Thanks for that guys. Appreciate it!

Hello All A client has approached me to take out a apple tree and asked about moving a 5ft Yew Tree, to another area in the garden, to make way for his new shed. I am a little unsure how Yew Trees, (Taxus baccata) respond to movement. I was wondering whether it would be better and more cost effective to just take out the one he wants moving and plant a new one. Does anyone have any experience with moving yew trees...how long should I expect it to take? Are there any products, compost which can be used to encourage growth? How big does the root ball need to be? Thanks for any help.

Cheers for the all the feed back. Thats actually really help.

Hi, I have recently got my tickets for tree work and been working with a company for afew weeks now, and pretty much there with my equipment, but now im qualified friends and family all seem to be coming out of the wood work...asking for work doing to their trees. I realise pricing and quotations are taboo subject on here, after all who wants to give away there trade secrets for free...however...hopefully someone can help. I've recently been asked to take on two seperate jobs, taking down some trees and clear the site. I've estimated it to be a days work, for two guys. One is a rather large willow, the over a group of lawsons cypresses. My question isn't how much to charge, but what sort things should you cover in the formal quotation that would be sent to the client. Is it as simple as 1 day for two men to clear the site, (stumps included) and dispose of the material. It will be .... or do you need to go more in depth. Cheers.

Hi, I have been studying at Merrist Wood since February and I am now coming to the end of my 9 Week Tree Surgery for Craftsman course. So far I have achieved my NPTC 30, 31 and 38 and my assesment for 39 is next week. I am looking to start work immediately after my course finishes on Friday 10th May. I moving into the Guildford/Woking/Aldershot area. If you can't offer any work, I would really appreciate any advice about where I can go next. I have a full, clean driving licence, but I lack C and C1 plus e. Its on my list of things to do once I have the money coming in again. I have all my own PPE, but lack climbing gear and chainsaw. I have limited groundie experience, when dead wooding some sycamores. Having experienced the basics of tree surgery on my course, I am really keen to get stuck in and learn the industry as soon as possible. Please PM your number, if you have any work, if I don't answer, I'll call you back as soon as I can. Cheers
