Part 1
First off I rang the customer from the sign writing on the vehicle parked near the house.
I asked why the pruning in the first place ... and it was to make the trees safer as branch dropped out.
I asked who did the job and was told Morrie's Tree Care and he suggested that they be reduced and pruned up safer like they are including overhang from neibs tree on LH side.
I started to discuss the pruning in more detail and the customer went cold and said it was none of my business and to keep my nose out of their business.
So, knowing Morrie's Tree Care is just up the road with a sign on the fence I drove up and got a pic.
Then I rang Morrie.
He said the trees were made safer and pruned in accordance with AS4373. He went on to say that whilst he is not an arborist he has worked on trees 8 years to 9 years now and used to be the foreman for Brisbane Tree Services. He said his cuts were no different to that of an arborist and he had great knowledge of how to make trees safer.
I mentioned the lack of foliage and he reckons they'll bush up nice now.... this is what you have to do and it's right he reckons.
