Response: These can be laid down. The leylandii x7 are 4.5 metres but will bend slightly at the top. The birch trees 11 x are about 3 metres.
There are also 5 x bamboo about 4 metres.
Question: Great, thank you. We would love to he considered for this job. Please message us for any information. Kind Regards, Zoe. - lighthaul (19-04-2022)
Response: Hi Zoe,

There are also 5 bamboos - approx 4m and can also be laid down.

How do I go about getting a price from you for this job?

Thank you,
Di
Question: Okay, can I ask how many in total please and what is the longest and shortest length of the trees? Do you happen to know a rough total weight as well please? That way I can let you know if the current quote can stay the same or needs tk be increased. Thank you. Kind Regards, Zoe. - lighthaul (21-04-2022)
Response: Hi Zoe,
I will check those details with the nursery as I’m not sure on weight.
The leylandii are the tallest at 4.5 metres ( will be bendy at the ends. ( I already have some at 4 metres and I can lift them myself in their pots)
The 11 smaller trees are around 3 metres ( they are bare root so have no pot, I expect they are only 15kg or so each)
The bamboo is around 4 metres - again I have some & can move the pots myself with a good huff!
I’ll come back to you with more details.
Thank you, Diana
Question: Thank you, Diana, I will speak with management in the morning and get back to you straight away. Thank you for your patience. Kindest Regards, Zoe. - lighthaul (21-04-2022)

It sounds like they will fit! Yes, absolutely, next Thursday would be perfect - I can get assistance sorted at my end

I’ll chase on the weights! ( and ask not to water for a couple of days in advance )
Thanks, Diana
Question: Perfect, Diana. Sounds good to us! As the time pushes closer it's vital we get the job confirmed so we don't end up double booking sue to other staff members also working on jobs that may end up booking a job un before I've been able to book you in. So, as long as the plants don't exceed 1.2Tonne we will be fine, so if you would like to accept our quote now we can get you all booked in for Thursday. Thank you. Kind Regards, Zoe. - lighthaul (22-04-2022)

Question: Hello again,

So sorry, I can not apologise enough actually. Please accept my sincerest apologies. I have just updated management and I was informed that our regular client has asked us to book a job in for them. We did try to express the urgency of booking us in and we could not upset our regular client by telling him no when the job is not confirmed yet. The chances are that this job we've accepted from Bristol is going to impede with your items however, we are in the Exeter area every Wednesday, so we could collect them next Wednesday if that could work for you? If that is no good we can just take half of our clients goods from Bristol which would still allow us to get everything for you. Management have tried putting him off as long as possible but we could not afford to upset one of our main customers. We do hope you understand and we are very hopeful we can still complete this job for you. Kindest Regards, Zoe. - lighthaul (25-04-2022)

Kindest Regards. - lighthaul (25-04-2022)
Response: Hi Zoe,

All confirmed for Thursday!

They’ve said the weight will be fine.

Can you give me an idea of pick up time please so that I can let them know?

Thanks,
Di
