advice needed for removing wood and brash from steep garden

[R Mac]

Petrol engined portable winch, e.g. PCW5000 or similar.

 

How many trees in total? Do you intend chipping and if so where? garden or driveway. You say they're 14' wide and the gates are under 3' wide, do you intend snedding the branches off in the garden then dragging the stems and brash up separately?

 

It's obviously possible but not easy to suggest a method without a bit more info. Obviously if you could get the entire tree up to a driveway or yard in one go that would be the quickest, then decide where you go from there.

as said earlier in the thread. the biggest problem is boots on the ground. the same tonnage 0f timber and brash will need to go out of the garden so if you drag winch or arb trolley/wheelbarrow it out. how about pricing in some repair work re turfing or re seeding as the damage is going to happen

 

unless you get a crane that is.

Just have a fire and then re turf the area after.

Old school but we used to lift the turf first and put it back after.

some boards small chipper and a track barrow chip into the barrow and chop the logs into 500 lengths easy peasy

Beat me to it. Hire a micro digger(ideally with a thumb if available) and a muck truck scrape off turfs carefully with grading bucket- have the mother of all fires- use digger to spread the ash (over the site of the tree stumps?) then relay the turf gentally tamping with the grading bucket to bed them in and level them. The timber could then be shifted with the muck truck.

Better still remove fences and hire in a tracked mulcher, two passes job done,and replace fences,then replant something nice

[Matthew Storrs]

Or fell the first few and use the space as your burn site- so you don't need to faff about with turfs. And tracked barrow or muck truck for getting timber out- quids in.

 

In my experience, if customers are dubious about fires, they soon change their minds when they see the price difference!
