  1. Hi Might be worth excavating to area of root damage, the root might not be deeper than you think, if your lucky. If not repofile the carriageway over the area, might have the watch the levels to avoid puddles etc. Kbi flexi pave works well for footpaths
  2. Been looking at hydroseeding recently to, its currently covered in brambles, is it best to herbicide treat it first
  3. As already stated roundup type product applied to the new growth, in the past I have ground out the stump and ecoplugged any large remaining roots
  4. Try Acorn environmental group, based south birmingham/redditch
  5. Hi there Is there any standard specifications for plant spacing when do landscape plans? Thanks T
  6. Yep, thats what I had to get, our building was deemed low potential so only required 1 dusk survey which didn't find anything. I'm told the reports are reviewed by the LA's ecologist
  7. As far as I know you have to licenced, the outcome of the report gives a risk level, think based on the British standards and from that follow surveys made be needed. That's my understanding of it
  8. Well out of 4 other companies i contacted they got back to with a day, while the only other company that got back to was 7 days later. A dusk/dawn survey was also required. So yes and bat report is a bat report but just found them easy to deal with, and the fact they actually wanted my custom
  9. I had one recently for barn conversion, used Arbtech who did a great job. Think they are national to
  10. Yeh, I agree its not the best way forward, even though have done this to there own trees. Thanks all
  11. Thanks all Some useful points, although its annoying that the council can pollard there trees, for the first time but we can not, there literally at the side of there street trees. But thinking on, and as stated I should really advise the customer on why it might not be best for the trees in question. Tree
  12. Yeh, they haven't been pollards before, but neither had the street trees until last year, all of similar size and age
  13. Hi All I have a customer who wants his 2 lime trees pollarding, but they area covered by an area tpo and the TO has refused the request, even though the trees are along his boundary with the highway, and the council have recently pollarded all the street trees here. Is there any justification in him pollarding, or requesting this to keeping line with the street trees, there all same age and similar size before they pollarded them. Any help would be appreciated thanks Tree
  14. Hi All Can anyone recommend a building architect in the Stoke area, or any one that could do building plans, for a planning app if the measurements where provided please. Many thanks Tree

    Tree stakes

    Hi I'm looking for a UK supplier, using ul timber for tree stakes. We currently purchase ours from overseas but keen to use home grown. We normally use 1.8m round, not tried square stakes.
  17. Not seen with verges but I have seen areas under private ownership but still fall under highways maintenance at public expense (hmpe)
  18. Yeh difficult to say if there's a breach as we don't know all the details. Although we assume its a highway verge as its next to the carriageway, I do see locations where the highway and local authority stops at the edge the carriageway and the verge is privately owned, though maybe not that common and as stated already could be private ownership but still falls under highways maintainable at public expenses. I'm guessing that they would have checked recent planning applicants to see if there removal was part of it. Will be interesting to what the councils finding area once they have investigated
  19. Although there are planted close, not sure if the species planted will cause future issues, am guessing they have choose this tree species due to it being a smaller, more compact tree. Difficult say if it will ever be problem for drains or cause subsidence in the future, from what I have seen of these else where probably not but each site/location is different. Yes tree wardens can get a little carried away, but they do provide important support and help for the local community and council. I know the council can plant trees anyway on there land they could of explained what they planned and why, it might of saved on-going complaints and a little re-assurance for yourself
  20. I do a lot of deer management around the midlands, insurance and have fac etc. unfortunately just little to far for me though
  21. Same as stated the PTI is really useful one, you could do some the Arb Associations 1 day work shops. You could also do the level 4 diploma in arb
  22. Hi It was a well ran course, lots information and support provided. Not sure how much difference you will see compared to a BSc though
