Seems abit of a crazy combo a 15" would suit that saw best. Sounds like you are somewhere with alot of softwood?

What are the services? Don't waste money on bigger trees imo, stuff like mulching & weed control makes more impact. Just get the basic bare root trees. Would also consider other not strictly locally native species such as sycamore, beech, scots pine, lime etc as think thoose "estate forestry type mixes" make attractive woodlands. Would group the tree planting into small blocks of same species and fade/mix the edges into the neigbouring areas of a block of a different species rather than randomly mix the planting. Then also have a few randoms dotted about, and extra things like cherry or wild pear.. How about some edible stuff apples cherries plums cobnuts etc closer to house etc? Esp on large size rootstocks apples pears etc make attractive trees for the fruits and blossom even if you don't pick/use any of it. Also wild pears crab apples etc I like a Sweet chesnut could plant some with possibility of coppice in future like if the soil/local climate is right. Dont get many that far north though? Also there is a diesease wiping SC out..... Hazels also maybe as shorter trees towards house side of the plot cast less shade.... Would be careful if planting sloe as dislike invasive blackthorn scrub suckering everywhere. Like birch nice attractive trees especially when planted in stands of a few dozen.

Suppose it depends on what the acess either side is like and how much height and width they want trimmed off. Alot of unknown variables & there always it seems some pita factor that comes to light, not always at first apparent. What someone can do in a day claims are very often wildly inaccurate no offence to the OP.

Suzuki carry?

I agree its just they are trying to make everything "lawyer proof"

Field Testing for Degraded Shells A simple field test can be performed to determine possible degradation of polyethylene shells:Compress the shell inward from the sides about 1 inch with both hands, then release the pressure without dropping the shell. The shell should quickly return to its original shape, exhibiting elasticity. There should be no residual deformation. Compare the elasticity of the sample with that of a new shell. If the sample does not exhibit elasticity similar to that of a new shell, or if it cracks because of brittleness, it should be replaced immediately. hmm might work?

arb helmets don't have thoose liners kind of different....... and they don't mention UV degrading the liner covers..... How about thoose aluminium ones the axemen yanks wear?
