An enraged tree surgeon tipped more than a quarter of a ton of trimmings onto a customer's lawn - as revenge when she reportedly 'refused to pay £40' as she her hedge wasn't pruned in the shape she wanted. Jamie Young of A1 Tree Surgeons of Whitworth, Lancashire, near Rochdale, says he suspected something was amiss when the woman 'hid' inside her house during and after last week's job.
Four days later Jamie claims he received a text from the miffed customer declaring she wouldn't be paying for the work done at her property on the outskirts of Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The woman reportedly said the 'uneven and unsymmetrical' work wasn't in her desired Christmas tree shape - despite Jamie insisting he told her that it would be impossible to do beforehand.
Footage shows the 37-year-old tradie and a pair of pals lugging two bulging sacks of hedge trimmings from his truck and tipping them over her fence. The quarter of a ton of waste can then be seen in two giant heaps on her lawn next to her newly-pruned conifer.

The clip was shared on Facebook and has been viewed more than 40,000 times, with people praising the dad-of-five's actions, claiming he'd done a 'great job'.
Jamie, from Lancashire, said: "This was a last resort to get my point across that it's not on. It's a bit of a sorry situation over £40. You'd expect it to be over £1,400 or £4,000, not £40.
"I don't expect a penny until people have
