Hi all,

 

I’ve been asked to give a price to pollard 14 lime trees and clear all the brash, I can chip all that’s cut and also remove all cuttings. I’ve not priced anything like this before so I could with a few ideas on pricing, we have two workers possibly three one truck and a chipper.

 

any ideas would be most grateful.

 

Thanks..paul

What are your expenses, how long will it take you to do. 

 

No one can give a price as we all have different needs financially

I guess it should take 4 days maybe 5 to finish, paying one climber and One groundsman, truck and chipper plus gear usage. My thoughts are about £1,500 to £1,800

Are you mad? 1800 for 4/5 days with 2 men plus kit? That's a fierce low price

Thoughts.

 

Pollarding limes is easy-peasy on the climber, he will outpace the grounds man who won’t keep up, even though it’s easy chipping.

 

Solution: Two (or even three) groundsmen.

 

How far is the tip site? That’ll be the biggest bottleneck.
