im a tree surgeon. i dont have a log fire. if those logs are at a residential/ commecial address from a tree cut on site and left, i would charge £50 to remove them. if i had a log fire and was burning them, i would pay £0 to collect from same as above. my business side is saying if i cut the tree and someone passing asks to take the logs i should suggest some beers in trade, but if im not loading them on and delivering them then logs are usually free to take as long as theyre gone when i want to clear the site. im guessing the situation here is joe bloggs had his oak tree cut down, negotiated a cheaper price for logs left on site, couldnt be arsed chopping it and is now seeking payment for you to remove something thats cluttering his garden.

i agree, double washing line. see im making it at about 10 metres, but your bottom line looks slightly higher than my mark. i was taking the top of the dark brown fence panel at 2 metres. i also agree with climb and strip over a straight drop. looks more professional and however good you are on a straight drop theres a risk of taking some plants out unnecessarily and youre left with more messing to cut and stack. if it was local, id be around 200 for taking it down, brash stacked, logs stacked. 80 quid for a straight drop and go, no logging no stacking.

Bloody peasant!

do they make it better? yes. case closed. now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
-
so they made it "pleasant" and made it "do what they want" therefore it will be better than how it started out or some stuff they didnt mess with. and therefore is going to be better to use in the saw. i fart in your general direction

no youre talking shit ive used cheaper mineral oils in my saws and they mank up the oiling system over time if stihl have spent time and money messing with oil and making it semi synthetic then it stands to reason theyve done something to improve it from what it started as. and again youre wrong, cos next ill be saying you smell of wee. hahahaha
-
"what sort of problems am I likely to incur after removal" surplus of cash/time from not having to keep cutting the hedges excess of groundspace in the garden
-
engineered to be better than what they started with if theyve spent time and money playing around with the base oil and making semi synthetic stuff from it then you have to hope its been improved and specifically aimed at working better with the machines they make?

manco replied to mike2736's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
1st suggestion: pay a professional arborist. bugs in crack suggests decay (or poorly fitting trousers) another agreement for leaving water in place to reduce fungal growth reduction of height can only lessen risk of failure, but i believe some/most trees respond to swaying by adding layers at weak points its gonna fail eventually, enjoy it while you can and try to keep the tops down to extend its lifespan -
i believe i specified about winching etc complicating the issue, and i was referring to the process of simply dropping the tree not messing about with other then making it complete its journey to the floor. i was looking for any possible justification for deciding to start cutting in the middle of the tree. i dont believe there is any.
