Hi Guys,

Starting a new site in Frodsham, cheshire on Monday. Fair trek from our yard.

Does anyone take wood chip/logs in the area? or can point me in the right direction of someone who does.

Thanks in advance.

Myles

Desperately need a groundsman or climber from March the 27th onwards for two/three weeks and onwards, due to a sudden surge in work.

All the normal tickets required and ability to get on in a team quickly, must be hard working and experienced in all aspects of tree surgery.

Good rates of pay and plenty of potential for future work for the right person.

We our based near Knutsford in Cheshire. Please get in touch on either 07545082610 or [email protected].

Cheers

Evening chaps,

Looking to start carrying out Puwer and coshh records a bit more properly than I have in the past.

Have seen the ones on the Arb association website, was just wondering if anyone could post some examples of there's if different or offer any advice.

Thanks in advance

Myles

I agree,

One thing I've never done is when a load comes in of say 25 tn, split it out into a separate pile and then net it to see how many nets you get out of an artic load.

Anyone done this?

Cheers buddy,

Really helpful advice!

What would you go for in the 25-30hp range?

Myles

Hi Guys,

This is the first time time I have posted a thread with pictures, so please accept my apologies now if i cock this up.

According to the client it hasn't come into leaf in the last four years and is covered by the marks showing in the pictures. I was just wondering if anyone new what the were. It runs from very nearly the base of the tree right to the top of the canopy.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Iain,

Would be very interested, do you have a contact number or email that you could post?

Hi All,

I am looking at buying a new rope over the next couple of days.

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the Marlow Gecko rope?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes and you entirely free to pick your own clients.

if a client asks me to come round and quote on butchering a tree I either walk away from it or try to educate them as to what a better course of action would be, and usually you find they go with it. I think it is an important part of our job, so that's how I work that out. If their instructions are bad you should really walk away from it.

Using the premise, "if we hadn't done it someone else would've". Is quite frankly an awful defence.

It is an excuse to make shoddy work excusable. I think that kind attitude lowers the tone of the industry. Part of our role is to educate and act in the trees best interest.

Just my opinion though.

depends on the site, if you are in the back and beyond where I live, go for it. If you are in an urban area, go through the proper channels as stated above.

Old Mill Tree Care,

All I can say is that yes when you start out it is stressful. I have run a tree surgery business all my life and as the years role by you realise that broadly with trees there is nothing that you cannot sort out or rectify, or anything that is so urgent it cant be dealt with tomorrow (emergencies aside) so don't worry and go with the flow.

British hardwood trees, have a great website. Really informative.

The site we are planting on is all peat. So next task will be to work out which species suit

acidic ground best.

Any suggestions very welcome.

Cheers Myles

Hi Guys,

Apologies for the late response, haven't been able to get near a computer.

Thank you for all the replies, very helpful.

Myles.

I have a 12 acre site that needs to be replanted coming up in the not to distant future.

We are planting a mixture of native broadleaves. 6000, 40-60 cm whips to go in, stake and shield.

I haven't done this for a while and was after some recommendations for suppliers for the whips and canes etc.

Based in Cheshire if that helps.

Many thanks in advance.
