Hi scotspine yeah they do for the big trees and when theres a lot of storm damage.Theyve used quite a lot of local companies over the years im told.I cant really say on an open forum though mate but its the larger ones in the area im sure you ll work it out by that comment
-
TBF it didnt require to be balanced out but if he did that it would have said to me he gave a toss about trees and his customers. But yeah purely aesthetics
-
Clearly they havent done there CPC course
-
If the guy knew anything about tree work he would have made proper pruning cuts and perhaps removed lower branches on other side of the tree to balance it out.
-
He was working for the lady with the tree in her garden so cutting the branches back to the bark collar should have been done.And yeah it was there haha cheers for your input mate
-

-

Do the job right or dont do it at all imo

Ive lost count the amount of times one of our squad has done a 5 minute job for an elderly person,mist times they just want a chat,maybe your the only person they ll speak to all day.Give a bit back when you can.i agree with you 100% harvey
-
I have no idea eggs,im lucky enough to work for my LA,but maybe not for long the way the cuts are going this year,but i would say 40 quid max to do the job properly.I realise people have overheads but too me its about giving something no and again.As i said ive no problem with geniune people making s living but i know the guy would have charged me less if it was my door he chapped,he took advantage of a pensioner,if he didnt fancy it-walk away
-
Yeah your right mick,i also have morals and couldnt rip anyone off just to make a couple of quid
-
Job wasnt quoted guy just turned up and set about the tree
-
You ve restored my faith in humanity thank you
-
Dont come down to glasgow then mate ha! Were all skinflints!
-
I think its prudent to remember i work in Scotland so its the norm for garden/tree work to be 10-15% cheaper than down south where you guys ply your trade.

Tetradium danielli has smooth beech tree like bark,where as this specimen looks as though the bark is rough or a fissured texture.Also the leaves barley change colour in the autumn only going to a slight yellow,where as this tree seems to be going through a really noticable change in colour.If it had berries on it i would be more inclined to agree with you to its ID.
-
Just because someone is old doesnt mean theyre bonkers or deserve to be ripped of,would you be happy if it was your mother being done over for half her pension for 2 mins work
-
50 is not acceptable for 5 little branches even if he trimmed back to the bark collar,removed cuttings,fired them through the chipper and tidied the area after,none of which he did.
