Tree removal costs

[captrik787]

Hi everyone,

 

just looking to see if a recent quote I got is reasonable? 
 

im looking to remove 3 x med/largeoaks from my garden.  Grind stumps and remove everything from site. 

I realise lots of things to consider but good access both close to some garages. I was quoted £15k?

 

im in the south east.

 

thanks

Initial thoughts are it sounds high, but where is the third tree?

[captrik787]

3rd tree is smallest to the right. 
 

bit “wispy”!

3rd tree looks like a silver birch?

What’s the access like for the trunks, and are they craning them out or doing it the hard way?

Get a few more quotes imo.

I guess the obvious thing to do is get another quote.

 

Seems to me you could set a crane up in the space shown and do it all in a day, with the right firm.

The trees are a doddle. The stumps might be the rub. Remove the stump grinding arisings from site too? Post pictures of the tree bases and at least describe the pedestrian access to them.

That’s exactly how I see it Mick.

 

If it’s in London though, there is a lot more to consider, tractors, grain trailers etc.

It’s near Crawley.

I recognized the street name, No Ball Games.
