Big Ash tree needs felling

[Mick Dempsey]

Getting all that brush out through a gate less than 3ft is a nightmare.

 

Plus you’d have to be careful not to ruin the paint up the side of the house pulling it through.

 

2k absolute minimum.

 

(not including the grinding)

Maybe you can park a tracked TW230 at the base of the tree and chip everything into those bushes at the back? Then you have a fighting chance.

Steve reckons 2 groundies is enough but then he's a climber.....

3's always nicer, I didn't often have the privilege though.

That would be a very large pile of timber left in the garden.... (especially for non-arbs to try and deal with)
The lower stem could well be full of nails etc...
Large trees very often look smaller in photos.

Always surprising the amount of sawdust and rubbish off big tree. Just ringing that up to get to a level to split them will be a good amount of work for someone.

3 gardens to rig over as well.

Slows things a bit.

**************** keeping cord for logs too. If it chips it goes through.

Yep, I have a queue of people waiting to buy the woodchip, cos the trees are still up at the moment!

A bit harsh there Steve!

He can handle it

Everyone has their own ideas and as said that's fine. Some companies are better able to deal with some jobs than others. That being said, £4,500 seems steep. Are they planning on getting a crane in or something?
