    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Agreed, if it’s not the most difficult skill to acquire in the trade, it’s certainly in the top 1.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Don’t get the hump, I was only pointing out a general trend in the US as opposed to Europe. It wasn’t a dig, just observation, a generalisation perhaps, but a correct one I think. Don’t invade Greenland or anything rash because of it!

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    If it was your intention to hurt my feelings…you’ve suceeded! Seriously though, I never see reductions (or indeed pollards) on US tree forums.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Watched the first five minutes. Thoughts. American tree companies rarely reduce trees like they do in Europe. In the US it’s out or a ‘prune’ which seems to be a thin, lift and deadwood. Pointless. If you reduced mature trees, you wouldn’t lose so much cover.

    Climbing saws are getting smaller, the echo 2511 is the best selling topper in the UK these days. Sorting out the 150 so it can compete should be their priority.

    I don’t torment myself with worrying about needing it, I suppose if a doctor told me I could never have another drink, or France became an Islamic theocracy and I had to stop I could. But in the meantime once the sun is over the yardarm, it’s a glass of crisp cold white for me. My brother has a...

    I genuinely feel people give up on drink too easily. I used to smoke loads of dope and drink to excess, to the point it was detrimental to work. So I gave up on the dope, which caused forgetfulness and sloth, but gradually got my drinking under some sort of control, till on a school night I...

    Los Angeles area fatality

    Terrible story. Back in the day I worked in London nearly every day, those cast iron Victorian fences with spiked tops were ubiquitous. They always gave me the heebees. You didn’t even have to take a fall, even a slip ans a drop of a few feet could end nastily.

    Live in Seattle or moving to? Major Tree could use some help.

    Postcard mailers with photos, "creepy?"

    Yes, it’s creepy. Cold calling is pushy. Leaving cards or the like is fine. Taking photos is beyond the pale.

    Bids Won vs Lost | A discussion on bidding and quoting

    Many people (myself included) don’t really enjoy seeing contractors, so if one turns up, seems competent and comes in around the price they were thinking, they hire them on the spot.

    How brainwashed are you?

    He does this all the time (Daniel) drops a few tree related posts to lure you in, then whammo! Starts with the ‘They Live’ stuff. Fill your boots, he loves getting engagement with his nonsense.
