Extremely large multi stemmed macrocarpa tree,
This was a slightly strange one for us ,
THE STORY!!!
We received a call one morning from a very distressed lady,
She started off the conversation y saying she had a very very large macrocarpa tree in her garden,
Then she went on to say that she had got a tree surgery company from Lisburn to remove the tree,
Long story short,
The Lisburn guys turn up one morning to do the work, the lady goes on to tell me that they arrived at 9am and were working away, at 11,30 am the owner of the firm comes down and says we can’t do anymore for now as the ground is to wet, and that he would have to come back mid summer to complete,
Now just to be clear he did not ask for any payment for the work he had done,
So come nearly the end of the summer the lady has still not heard back from them, she tried phoning, and leaving messages but still no reply,
She then contacts us and explains the situation,
I call take a look at the tree , and give the lady a price,
Which when I did I could see she was taken back,
(I was thinking my price is to much for her)
But what she says next made me understand why she was taking back, my price was exactly half of the firm from Lisburn,
We shook hands and agreed on the price,
2 days later we arrived to remove the tree, we started at 8am and we were done just before 6pm, ( I can’t remember the exact time , but for sure just before 6pm)
And just to confirm I know why them guys walked away, the tree was far to big for them to dismantle safely ,
And putting it bluntly they bit off more than they could chew,
Be careful people who you get to do your tree work,
And try not to make the same mistake this lady made,
