Whats a realistic price to fell one tree

I don't think you can make a profit on two thousand, no chance. Only do it for that price if there may be other potential work there.

priced a 70-80ft tall 40ft wide tree massive huge great limbs overhanging fences sheds green house and garage also close to house.

 

All needs lowering and tree looks to weight aprox 20 ton i worked out 10-15 truck loads transit loads 1.2 ton.

 

And the trunk is about min 6ft across also have to grind the stump which is gonna be a turd of a job.

 

I worked out maybe 3 days at worst an extra half day at worst on top,

 

how much would you have priced.

 

what would you honestly price i thought at least three grand might be where i went wrong but so much could have gone wrong needed alot of work to prep the site and alot of the price was cost plus its an insurance job so all through the books etc.

 

never herd back so assume its been done

 

i thought 2 climbers 3 groundsmen and me

 

2 climbers for 2 days 3 groundsmen and me all 3 days

 

Alot of big heavy log which would be hard work for the guys to carry out.

One for one side the other for the other side its a big tree and two climber wont bump into each other so both with lowering devices but up seperate trunks of the same tree.

 

Both get the branch sections down within two days leaving as much time on the third for section felling the larger limbs and grinding out the stump which is big.

 

I dont like working costs to the bone i try to allow for things taking longer then expected and this has paid off very well for 90% of the bigger jobs.

 

So if we do it earlier we all get a little bonus for working hard .

 

Working costs to the bone means little profit and trudging around all day thinking what you could be working for. It's hard to give anyone a price whithout viewing, people could give you rates between 2-£300 per man per day add that to your costs plus some profit. Doesn't sound like there would be any change from 3K including stump.
