Pricing query - opinions wanted!

[MaxJ]

I have a price and timescale in mind but as I'm fairly new to the game I want to compare it to what you exp boys would charge.

 

The chip is to be left on site as is the Poplar and Ash for firewood. I will be using my little Greenmech chipper and have one other lad helping me, he has CS30/31 so can do a lot of the groundwork in terms of logging.

The site is 15 mile from my house and the customer is my old Design teacher!

 

Pollard 2 Poplars back to where they were done before.

 

Tidy up the drive area.

 

Remove 3 Ash trees, there are 2 in the pic with the conifer in it one hiding behind the one in front similar height (30ft ish) but leaning over the road very slightly.

 

Cheers folks.

The exp boys wouldn't do it without a groundsman with cs38. Do you even have insurance?

[MaxJ]

YES I have insurance and the guy I have helping me is doing his CS38 this week. Now that's out the way would anyone be so kind as to give me there opinion on what to charge. Thanks

Estimate the time it will take. Circa £350/day for 2 man team with chipper or £450/day for 3 men etc. Any less and you'll be devaluing the industry.

[MaxJ]

Thanks TCD, thats virtually what I had in mind.

[ad15]

Maybe, in the last century.
