stump grinding

[tractorboy1]

Same here wouldnt even drive it out of the yard for £1 an inch. im same £2.50 per inch min, if its a pain to get to or really dead hard Oak etc then £3 per Inch.

 

Such a shame the forum rules forbid rude language the post could so easily be changed.

IMO for 3-400 stumps at 30" so 400 stumps thats £12.000? you guys want £30.000? so im saying that for the amount of stumps on site with a large machine you could get alot of stumps cleared per day being grinded. Also he mentioned they were only larch type stuff which chips so quickly too. So i thought about it and thought for volume, time, chip rate per day that £1 per inch min would be a starting point for him.

No one is going to pay £12K for that!!

 

You would just get a big mulcher in and get it done for under £2k.

but you need a 360 as well to get the roots up ,mulchers dont go deep enough,

So maybe he should be looking at getting a mulcher in?

 

although if you did get the grinding for 2.50 per inch £30k take most the year off?

 

P.S i would never do arb sites for less than £2.50. Just read the post and did some quick maths. I would also charge more if it was a bit boggy too.

douglas roots arent deep, a big mulcher will go a foot easy below ground level . grinding 400 stumps will loeave a huge amount od chip and kill most machines, a mulcher mixes it with soil and you can landscape it after
