Big Ash tree needs felling

[Mark Bolam]

All depends on access like Mick said.

Few loads in that stem right enough if it’s going off site.

Access is along the side of the house (see pictures) with the narrowest point 33”. Id need the stump removed. My son says he ‘might’ use the timber if it’s cut up. How would that effect the costs?

[Steve Bullman]

You’d save yourself a fair bit if all the timber could be left on site. Even if your son doesn’t want it, I’m sure if you put the word around friends and neighbours were be happy to come and collect it. Ash is premium quality firewood

A decent 3 man team would have that done in a day if the timber were staying

Not including the stump grinding 

[Cadno]

It overlaps three neighbouring gardens, but they would all like it gone, so there’d be onside to a degree ( as long as there was no damage to their sides). It would have to be climbed and taken apart bit by bit.

Agree.

I would put 2 days on it.

Yes but you are twice as slow as every other tree surgeons in the world 

[Mark Bolam]

Hence the 2 days.

You said a decent team could do it in one.

Anyone near (ish) to Cardiff let me know?
