I can't quite get my head around the obsession with climbing every tree to cut it from the top down. It seems like felling a tree and cutting it up on the deck isn't trendy anymore.
My neighbour has three Scots pines along our boundary, not huge. He's been given various prices to fell them. The best one is £1200 each, big garden, plenty of space, but everyone still wants to take them down in bits.
Nice way to make a living
