  1. Ok so a bit of a rant and know doubt this will split the masses on opinion.

     

    how many of you see on a near day to day basis the have a go tree surgeon / gardener? No PPE shorts trainers one hand on a ground saw from a ladder poor work man ship etc etc

     

    Do you take pictures? should you? and then put them on the internet to try and hinder them trading? because in my eyes they shouldn't be doing that work if there not qualified to do so. we all have to go out spend grands on kit, insurance training etc.

     

    this is not a jab at being under cut buy them or losing work to them because there welcome to it just promotes using a pro in the first place.

     

    whats everyones thoughts on the "rouge trader" :thumbdown:

  4. Thorns are a form of protection against predation and are costly to the trees energy supply. Should the tree not need them then why make them? By way of example you may notice in your travels that some Holly trees have hardly any spiky leaves unlike those in the New Forest where the ponies eat them to de-worm themselves which are prickly beyond comprehension - ouch! Trees are VERY clever and we sometimes don't appreciate that very much.

     

     

     

    i have just been educated :)

  5. Hi all

  6. Wildlife and countryside act is long gone, its CROW (2000 ish) now.

    Sorry to be a pedant.

     

    Part of the job discription for the proposed works will list what is important, and dont be afraid to ask if you can not ID it. There will be a long list of mitigating measures to be put in place whilst the work is carried out.

     

    to start with i want an ecologist , arb consultant an hopefully the tpo officer all to meet on site. iam pretty sure that if i start the job the ID will be coming in thick and fast for you guys

  7. i am happy with the Natural England stuff spill kits bio oil in the saws soft fell rigging down the trees to minimize impact blah blah but i mean the kind of stuff thats not nessersrly covered the stuff thats been learned by the blokes on the ground maybe stuff you would or wouldn't do again given the chance :)

  8. hi all few questions if you may.

     

    I have been asked to give a price though a contact i do alot of work for on a sssi site mostly pruning crown lifting etc but there looks like there may be the odd bit of felling/ dismantling but i have not been to see the job yet so not sure on that.

    although iam confident that they want to use my services.

     

    i havent worked on a site like this before so is there anything apart from the obvious i need to be aware of and learning points from folks who have done this kind of work before.

     

    would be great to hear everyones experiences.

     

    Thanks in advance
