Default Low Life Tree Loppers

How low can you get?

A lady called me in tears this afternoon to see if I could help, she was still crying 2 hours later when I called around. This morning a guy knocked on her door and asked if she would like some wood chips for her garden as they were lopping some trees just around the corner, she said yes, she would take some. Later, before she could get down to stop him he dumped 8-9 cubic meters in her driveway and took off.

They're absolute rubbish as well, I'm about this, I don't have a loader so I can't really help, tip fees alone will be $200 probably more.

I'd better have a

The neighbours should help out and grab some.

What were they cutting? Lawn?

Worst chip's I've ever seen. Palms, big chunky stuff, coral tree. Absolute rubbish, nobody would want it, he just saved himself tip fees, now she has to get rid of it.

There's more than it looks in the pic. 8 cu meters minimum.

Shit mulch, see if you can find out who they are and we'll blow the whistle on the wankers, we do that here and it's not illegal contrary to what alter boys might think!

Bloody assholes! If she didn't get any of his details I'd bloody canvas the block looking for the fresh tree work and start knocking on some bloody doors for details.

Coral tree mulch! Ugghhh, for those that don't know, this mulch can and will RE-SPROUT!

C'mon Done it, get the details, we'll expose them!

Topped trees I can handle, but this shit brings US ALL DOWN SO MUCH HARDER.

Well, what mess. That was Tuesday.

Wed, I was a bit out off my area & saw a tree guy with a Dingo, so pulled him over & told him the story, he seemed a nice bloke & said he would fix it up, so I gave her his number to organise a time. She still hadn't found out the dumper's name.

Thursday, I finished late. Friday, I called around, mulch is gone. She got the dumpers number and called him, got abused/sworn at etc. Didn't ring my guy, but a neighbor called someone he new, COST: $1300.

She won't give me the dumpers name because she's frightened he might do something, there's only her & her elderly mother living there, so I can't blame her. The neighbor, where he did the palms is also elderly, so that's it.

For now anyway, I don't forget.

Doesn't seem the neighbour was much help at that rip off price either.

Yes, the thugs and threats that no-one seems to care about or stand up to ... I wonder if they're a QAA member?

Read here how one has set his solicitors on me for what ... telling the truth!

wtf is wrong with people?Threating a woman who lives with her elderly mother.That is wrong period.I seriously don't know how you guys deal with people like that,at the risk of making myself sound bad if someone did crap like that around here i'd have to take them out in a field somewhere,well you know where this is going for the other guy.
