A busy week for Poplar Trees

A busy week for the boys this week, and some really great customers to go with it. Friday it was a real pleasure to work for the Allcocks in Chaddesden where we removed a large Conifer and a poorly Ash, Valerie Allcock has also linked with us on facebook and posted some pictures she took http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2229397904891&id=222325031138344

We also did some work for our fantastic neighbours Phil and Val at a rental they have in Draycott which wasn't much fun in the pouring rain? Thanks also to Kim McDonald for holding out for us as we were running a little late but we did manage to arrive just before she had to leave for work. Here we removed a Deodar that was planted far too close to the house, and we also trimmed their Rowan. Kurt ended up doing the Deodar.

Tuesday was a nice steady day, with a quick trip to Ilkeston in the morning to take the top off a couple of small Lombardy Poplars, and then in the afternoon we headed across to Beeston where we had received permission from Broxtowe Council to remove all the dead wood from a Atlas Cedar in the back garden of the lovely Pauline Blagdon. We needed permission as she lives in a conservation area. All the work was left to Adam and myself as Kurt had a bit of Spanish tummy and consequently slept for three hours in the van!!

On Wednesday we were again working for neighbours but this time it was the Truemans a little further down the road. Here we removed a Silver Birch and a small Conifer that had out grown their position. Thank you to Mrs Trueman who constantly supplied tea and cold drinks for the myself and the lads in the glorious sunshine.

Love Thy Neighbour

Trees are wonderful and for the most part are a joy to observe, they provide shade if it’s hot, shelter if its wet, a feature in our gardens and habitat for wildlife and there’s not many of us who don’t have a tree or two in our gardens, But how many of us think about our trees in relation to our neighbours!

It’s very rare that a week goes by without me receiving a call about a neighbours trees, blocking light, dropping mess all over the garden etc etc. So maybe those of us with trees, especially conifer and the larger species, should take a good look at the garden, especially on a sunny day, and just see what impact our trees are having on next door especially if they only have a small plot, or are on the North end of your plot!

Father and son team Poplar Tree Services know all about what’s important to their customers and there neighbours and how best a solution can be reached, which needn't be expensive or too drastic as long as both parties get along and can come to a mutual agreement.

"We always do our best to reassure our clients that we will leave their garden in a clean and tidy condition, and in many cases even better! After all people spend a lot of time and money on their gardens and we really do appreciate that investment. We talk to our clients about what changes they can expect once the work is done, and how their environment can be improved".
