Tree fell quote

[woodley]

I'm after a quote to fell a 6 metre conifer tree in the Warrington (WA5) area. All waste can be left on site

[manco]

6 metre? 

[kram]

More like 10-15 metres from the picture. Looks like a small but reasonably adequate drop zone in garden, what is surrounding it in the neighbouring gardens? You wont have much space left once its down!

 

Any competent climber will have that down in half a day. Finding a climber directly will be cheapest. Assuming no cleanup, everything can stay where it falls, a hungry solo climber might drop it for £150-250. Much too far away for me to be interested. 

 

If you wanted a team dragging and chipping, properly cleaned up after, you could expect that to be £500-600+.

I'm going to disagree. Reckon the 6m is pretty close going by the shed, fence, hedge surrounding it.

Depending on where that phone line sits exactly in relation to the tree I'd reckon 1-2 hrs to finish dismantling it.

10-15 meters what planet are you on. That's a dormer bungalow and the top of the tree is about the same hight as the ridge maybe a fraction higher max 7 meters.

Half a day! Half an hour more like. But yeah, £200 down, another £200 to chip it into the flowerbed, another £200 to take it away.

Probably that as long as you can leave everything where it lands and you move/remove or dont care about all the bird box things.

If you want the waste removing afterwards it will be approx 6 trillion quid.

Going by the shed and fence being roughtly 2m, I make it 10m.

Looks more like a washing line than phone lines to me. It would be a pain if a phone line runs through the drop zone, that would slow it down considerably.

One of us is going to have to do it now to find out.

If that is a washing line you would only need to climb it to put a rope round it . Fell it strait onto the pile of brash thats there already and go home . 15 mins ? 🙂
