Not sure about the star ratings of these places though and they tend to close late and not open at the weekend?But, the Mairie may be able to help you find her?[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardengirl Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sorry, don't know of any in your area.I've been very surprised at the cost of having trees cut down or trimmed. In the grounds of our apartment block are a number causing a problem at the pool. It should really have been dealt with by the builders last year, and is a growing(!) problem.The quotes were astronomical, and it has caused a lot of bad feeling amongst residents. Some want several lovely trees cutting down, and others cut back a lot. They say that cutting moderate amounts would mean repeat visits over the next few years.It is said that calling them out to cut high trees is huge, plus insurance in France for this work is very high. We've had work done on trees in UK with fully insured tree fellers, but haven't found the cost prohibitive.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
