Hi All,
Where this happened and surrounding suburbs are where some of the richest folk in Sydney live,It does not liscence them to pelt stones at Arborists though,although some, not all, think so!
Anything you do down there you carry all relevent paperwork,council permits to carry out work,and work to the utmost professional standard you can.Because as you know every ones an expert in our field were just monkey's that should be fed bananas..rock's thrown at us and ofcourse my pet hate spat on!.
You deal with them as best you can,it's usally best to let your customer liase with them,as they generally have house keeper and grounds people,They allways challenge you to see if you have permission to under take the work you are doing,I've been asked by all 3 niebs on one job!above all keep your cool,if it's to bad ring the police and let them sort this out.any lost time adjust your invoice at the end the job.That bloke throwing the stones I've seen his worker's waveing car wash signs at you as you drive past,and I thought it was keen,and wrote it off as typical curries,but once I read about his signage drama with council it explained it all.
He needs the 99TH monkey treatment,you know the one that loads his hand full of shyte and throws it rite in the face!
