What a shame

The last few days Ive been busy with the 575 and tirfor dealing with a lot of windthrow and some nasty hang ups,

Notably a very mature beach, a large willow and a ginkgo biloba as well as numerous boughs and non descript trees.

A combination of the last few weeks of heavy rain, trees still in leaf coupled with localised gusty winds.

 

Tell me about it - But it's the way of nature. Just got to deal with it I guess.

 

Yeah its certainly one of the sader aspects of the job.

 

Nah - The saddest part of the job is when a customer ignores your advice and decides on 'having a go' themselves and totally hacking the tree to bits... then standing back and proudly admiring their handywork, ignorant that they've sealed their tree's fate.

 

I cant argue with that.

 

Lost lots of lovely trees in the garden to gales and lightening etc. over the years.

A couple we have been able to pollard and stand back up again, but the likes of the 150 year old Lebanon Cedars are a sad loss ...

 

It is such a shame. A few years ago a branch came off the huge tree in my ex's drive and wrote my car off. It was a huge branch and the tree looked odd without it
