That looks hard work hedging and that willow looked fun for whoever pollarded it with a nice tear caused by lack of undercut .

 

Its great to see results from folk its when they come home at night and see dozen passing on the driveway and then once you cleared them when they next come home and only see one or two or none.

 

They phone you up as say what a cracking job you done.

 

Happy days Cookie :thumbs:

The tree is being took down completely,so it doesnt matter if there is no undercut as long as it is down and gone :thumbs:
