  1. I believe so ,hence why I said about tip/waste charges...I don't think we've burnt it got that reason.
  2. That still seems too cheap seems like ten years ago prices ...i was fortunate I had my own machinery to do it as quick as fk ..couldn't be done busting a gut on jobs
  3. Never priced it like that ,surely he'd ge better off on a fencing forum! Been a while since I've done fencing ...but I don't want to be known for fencing and domestic hedge work!
  4. Don't know why people are doing it by the bay rather than the meter or per job?
  5. No as why would u be asking how to price it 😆, tip fees and ground conditions would be a major factor....... also depends what tools you would have to hire ....
  6. Go and price it up in the local merchants seems it varies county to county
  7. The was quite a famous one not that long ago in Richmond park where a girl was sitting under a poplar tree reading a book...the tree was a poplar ...it randomly chucked branch which ended up in the girl/ woman being killed. The also was a junior school girl in the north east that got killed by a falling tree.. I can't find the link . And in bham, year being 98/99 the was a mature tree (ash) that came down across three lanes of traffic ...the firebrigade couldn't get the bodies out until they were craned off . If trees weren't fkrs and failed and killed people we wouldn't need tree surgeons or arborist!
  8. A mate found a hyperdermic needle in the crown of a street tree in bham, Also found fencing in the bottom of a tree. And a kite ...
  9. 12 years before you can claim it as your land....but you have got to show management of the Land...
  10. Don't think it's that hard to do as ivecos eat rads and inter coolers .. I'd ban the accountant for buying something new as newer stuff isn't that great !
  11. Over all ,that isn't In bad health it looks like a hedgerow tree that's reached maturity ...if you were to get it reduced then it will come back twice as strong. Also Is it really worth getting stressed over?
  12. To be honest that orange one you posted looks like an oleo mac/orange efco ..but wouldn't touch anything lower than a mitox ....atleast it's been proved to be safe !
  13. Don't do it😆 when I Was a chunky monkey due to medical condition and side effects of the medication .... I landed myself in a river up north ..the branch in question was over a 1ft round ...I guess from memory it was a willow ... Other dire trees are like poplar also quite brittle.
  14. It's a street tree ,the get pruned heavily due to the liability aspect or what the tree contract dictates
  15. I've got a mitox top handle ,to be fair it's a great saw ....lightweight quick cutter and no issues ,unlike my still 201t that has never ran right irrespective of a new carb fitted .also I had 4 echo saws in for repair all not oiling all fixed under warranty .. But I've got to say the mitox top handle is quite good dunno about their traditional saw as above
  16. Actually further reading it seems like an in or out job ...client should have chosen better builders to start with ...
  17. We had a walnut once on the floor so we started clearing it up like a windblown....it self righted the next day and is still near on vertical to this day. Can you not reduce canopy over a succession of years so it doesn't stress tree out and tree will come back ?
  18. I thought no one really did hedges due to the nesting season which ends Sept, the problem is are clients prepared to wait that long? But this seems a new law or amendment to existing laws ....
  19. Hahaha, benefit of the doubt , you aren't doing me any favours ! At the end of the day you had a professionals advice I'd have taken it... all you need to do is what's been done to the bark,but in simplistic terms ...what's happened to the tree is the same as you sticking your hand in a fire ! If i was going to give you advice which I won't because of the attitude I'd start talking in Latin names and giving you suggestions of what to do instead ....but I'd never have brought a house with a footpath at the end of the garden!! But i bet you it's the same with builders - a mate used to get that alot and by the end of it the client thought they were the professional often saying ,how long it would take ,how much it would cost ..etc All I was saying is the is nothing you can do, simple as ...you can be as sarcastic as you want....but don't forget she might read this and think f this I'm not working for him!! Blacklisting still happens . Other thing is we've got pre nvq people who can identify if a shrub or tree is dead or dying ! All the best .
  20. 357 was sluggish compared to the 254xp...350 almost beat the 357xp
  21. What I don't understand, is the following If the trees are valuable then, why have a fire under them? B) if you've already had a tree surgeon out surely you must not trust him if you're after a second opinion? C) as much as are opinions are varied you can't expect us to give you advise on trees we've not even seen? I mean it'd be like asking a builder to build things with no plan! D) I didn't realise that the average Jo had access to this site for free info.... Maybe we should ask for something of munitary value, to go to an arb charity or air ambulance charity..... After all this is our profession, time, knowledge and ultimate our unique skill set they are getting getting free... As for being a c word, well surely we have all seen how forest fires start and how well conifers burn... Surely it wasn't wise to light a fire underneath to start with... This is just mearly an observation not a moan..
  22. Take it off and put a loncin engine on it, Honda engines aren't great anymore... Even from new... Tempromental shites
  23. Add a photo and we can tell 🙄.. I don't think it's great having a fire under trees 😂
  24. I paid 30k in 2001 for lode lane to build a sv based on a tomb raider defender, I dread to think what that would be worth now if it wasn't stolen. I've another high spec defender now county td5 pickup, 30k on the clock 7 Yrs ago and I dread to think what that'd be worth also!
