Hi it is used for recreational purposes and currently unsafe and unusable with many diseased ash trees .as mentioned it is just the ash that’s the problem 

also depending on the quality of the wood some big straight chunks might be able to be sold for milling 

Which county is it in ?

What are the edgers ? Are they Ash ?  If so will they need winching back in ? don't sell your self cheap . I am in West Sussex but I am nearly dead so won't be of much use ?

Hi yeah I’m bit unsure about one side near a main road with some monster ash set back far enough but in the worst case scenario the tops might land close to or over the boundary .i don’t think winching would be wise anyway as it could fall at any time unexpectedly

Don't undersell yourself Stubby, how's the leg by the way.

Also it seems to be a bit of grey area if a felling licence would be required for this .they are dead enough and potentially dangerous for anyone walking underneath

If those big ash have brown heartwood, call me [emoji106]

tying to come up with a figure for clearing around 2 acres of quite dense and large dead ash trees for a charity group which are wanting to pay as little as possible for clearing the site .easy enough with no climbing etc and the wood can be sold at roadside  but it’s not worth a great deal maybe £45 a ton or less and they are wanting all brash chipped or taken away and the site left reasonably tidy .they did get a high quote they couldn’t afford so the trees been left over a year .

Im not sure if I want to be involved but would about 800 quid be fair enough or much too cheap ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why don’t you give them a day rate price for the felling as your labour charge...and to keep your costs down and make some money ask them to pay for Chipper and extraction hire??? I love these charity groups...most time the CEO’s and top people for most charity’s earn £100’000 or more per year...I stay clear of working for charity’s...you need to let them know that your not a charity and you need to earn a living...if any job doesn’t make you money no matter what it is just leave it well alone.

Can the bases be used for hurley sticks?
