Tree Surgeon recommendations

[Mr Gobby]

I would've thought that a reputable tree surgeon would know what to do with an oak tree, and surprised if you didn't get something for it. Having said that, I presume it's an English oak tree. Most people's idea of oak nowadays is of much inferior American oak (red or white), as in when they see 'solid oak' furniture and kitchens for sale ... shopfittings too.

 

I used to make bespoke furniture (cabinetmaker) and only used the very best, typically using 'quarter sawn' timber with the medullary rays for the bits you could see (drawer fronts, cabinet doors and table tops) ... something you hardly get in American. People pay good money for English oak ... it's what heirlooms are made out of.

 

I would have thought by now it has long gone R.I.P tree.

I don't understand that

 

It was on the first page of Sheffield discussions. I didn't bother looking at the date as I presumed it was current (as you would).

I did bother, and saw it was an old thread.The tree's probably long gone .

I read this this morning and saw the date of the OP, the post which restarted the thread today has disappeared.

That's interesting Alcoblog as I've noticed rather a lot of old threads resurfacing lately and wondered why. Got caught out by one myself but wasn't the first re-poster as you were.

Getting a bit like the Daily Mail on here, repeating old threads to make up space .Time's must be hard.

sorry to tell you but if the tree is healthy you can't cut it down, yu can only top the crown but you can't chop tree's down it's illegal unless they present a danger to the public or building, they may well take off a branch or 2 you can't bring it down because you fancy it same applies if it's on council land like the pavement or parks leave well alone that tree might have been there a hundred may be more may be less, there are enough trees being cut down in the world think of all the wild life that may se it like squirrels, birds, insects

have you heard the song wood man wood man spare that tree leave it

When a tree had to come down across the road from me, I had a word with the tree surgeon, and I managed to salvage three large pieces to make an seating feature in my garden. I also managed to get enough offcuts to make a stepping stone type path from some pieces of the stump, it gave my garden a more natural feel rather than paving flags or concrete etc.

Thanks for that but I did manage to find someone about 6 weeks ago. He was the cheapest quote by far. I had quotes of £250 and £180. He came and did it for £120, he removed all the tree and cleaned everything up immaculately. Would recommend him to anyone BRILLIANT !!!!!

 

Please could you tell me his contact number? I might have a job for him soon. Many thanks!
