The 'Today's Job' thread

Last job. 4k worth of new planting two years ago. It’s been forgotten whilst the house is undergoing major refurb. Customer showed me round two days ago and I saw it looking like this 🫣 might be too late for a couple but I’m watering morning and evening and should get more irrigation supply hose tomorrow. Most of it I think can be saved. Hedge will get a drip line also.

Nice little Friday in and out job, been on our regular estate work the last few months so nice to escape for a day

Absolutely loving the 2.6T with the tilty.... everything is suddenly easy! Especially with the gripper.

I must admit that I felt like the EZ26 was overkill at the beginning of the job, and the tarmac on this new built being outrageously soft, did have me questioning my choices

About 16 tonnes of 'soil' out, and about 16 tonnes of screened topsoil/compost mix in

Planted a beech hedge on site I’m at last autumn, it’s struggled since day one was very wet to start off, then gone so dry twice day watering hasn’t cut it. Will pull out and save what I can , replacing in October when the new stock gets dug.. got drip line setup ready to go!

Put over £100k's worth of trees in on a project earlier this year. Its been someone's full time job with a UTV and bowser to try and keep them alive all summer. The contractor I work for is on the hook for them for the first year - got another £100k of them to plant this Autumn.
You could never have predicted this summer, but its been bloody hard work in the landscaping game trying to keep things alive.
Some stuff its been cheaper to let it die than try and keep it alive with the labour involved. But the trees are too valuable.

100k worth of mature trees or 100k worth of whips? We planted 100k worth of plants for someone probably 10 years ago and In reality it didn't go far. Probably 70m of beech hedge and then a the rest as 6m plus rootball trees.
All imported things. No native species.
