John F replied to John F's discussion Cherry Blossom Tree

"Yes it's not always easy to do the right thing for the tree unfortunately whoever planted it put the wrong tree in the wrong place right next to a boundary wall when it was just a small tree .
Once it's pruned I can't see it adding any value as it…"

Peter sellers replied to Ben Hattersley's discussion Pricing for School grounds maintenance

"Ben, seems that you are in a strong position as you are well thought of by the school as you aren't the obvious choice to quote for something which is not your main business. Are they asking other contractors who do this type of work to quote? If…"

"Yes it seems to be mine field! The school arent happy with the current contractors and to be honest i wouldn't be either. The main concerns of the school are that they are paying for the contract but very little gets done.

"I'm sure this is just a trick to extort money form customers. As said, the gearbox will need greasing periodically and the blades sharpening with an angle grinder now and then . They have these ridiculous checklists that say for example, "check…"

Billybop replied to John F's discussion Service Schedule Stihl Cordless Hedge Trimmer ?

"hi John never had any stihl AK only the AP stuff, I can imagine greasing the gears but apart from sharpening blades as you say, what is there to service really, probably more of a checklist they tick off"
