Default Re: Failure of Roots

This one left a 12 person spa sized hole full of water in the ground.
24hrs solid rain followed by wind back in Feb 04 i think...
Definate waterlogged soil but had to break roots to tip over. Bit murky though, i didnt bring my shorts that day anyway.









That was an insurance job which i lost by being up front with the quote instead of just doing it like we were first instructed to. I wanted to clarify what happens with the stump/rootball. They said get rid of it, the debris and reinstate the hole.

The cheaper quote they then got ground it and left an 8m3 pile of grindings!
