This is where the problem lies. Not with you Lawnlad but
your super. Maybe we should take a different approach.
I would suggest to your super that an economical approach
will be time consuming with risks of damage to the
planters and will not be profitable enough for the service.
If this estimate came my way, I would have said to the
potential client that he needs to get an electrician in to
cut off the service to the planter. The planter cannot be
salvaged and is clearly outdated. A skid steer needs to
come in and remove the planter and stump. Any damage
to the drive or wiring inside the planter is not warranted.
Suggest a new planter from many new products available
and pick out a tree....and the price is ...?
