Tree Surgeon Recommended


I have used David for a tree removal job.


I got 3 quotes - he was competitively priced, took away all the wood and tidied up


I highly recommend him.


His number 07931 921691

One Not Recommended


I used someone else for another job, got his number from a card put through the door (family business, friendly etc)


He said that the chainsaw would be damaged and need replacing (?40) and that it would be quite a job to kill the roots - he would have to put chainsaw in deep into the trunk (in fact it was a few inches).


I rashly agreed to his price. The job actually took 20 minutes - which means that his hourly rate is closer to that of a brain surgeon.


He didn't clear up at all - this was agreed, but I had got the impression the job would be a bit more involved.


The chainsaw clearly wasn't damaged as after he had a go at another tree and the cuts were clean.


Stupidly, I didn't get a receipt. Have asked for one, but no sign of it yet.


David got back to me with a quote after job was done and it was half the price!


My bad. Lesson learned.

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on an hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats. 
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
