need a rough quote please.

hi guys, my mum has decided to move house and she's found one in maidenhead but it needs a bit of work on the greenery. could some of you give me a rough ballpark figure as to how much it would cost?

first of all the evergreen needs removing and then the purple beeches need heavily cutting back (if they'll survive it?).

 

my mum and auntie are only just over 5' so you can judge that the trees are between 15'-20' tall at their peak.

one of the purple beech stems is quite thick and may need to be removed if it is to be turned back into a hedge? the rest are only 4-5" stems from what i could see.

 

there is also some box elder and other shrubs under the copper beech.

 

can this mess become a hedge again?

there is an out of control hedge out the front too. all of it is in our border and it would be nice to remove the evergreens and make it a hardwood hedge.

 

i'm not sure which evergreen species these trees are.

 

the rest is box elder, holly and hazel i think.

 

the ivy round the porch post needs removing too.

Blimy Steve, how are you going to move all your timber? What a pain! Has the new house got a big drive for you? Lol

this area also needs tidying up and the ivy removing from the wall...

all my timber is going into a lock up and with any luck i'm moving into a workshop in reading. no timber is to follow mum to this new property.
