Help on conifer pricing AGAIN!

[scott995]

I'm always boobing on conifer pricing so some advice would be great. I know its hard through pictures......

 

The conifers are approx 50-60ft ish high 80ft length 8-10ft width. They want just the orange section doing as the other part is neighbours which they might want doing in the future. Im already doing some other work for the customer which I have priced and they want doing...

 

I think the work will take around a day and half prob 2 as the sides need trimming too. Im still learning on prices so help would be great.

if you think its going to take 2 days price it for 2 days. as long as your taking into acount your truck will fill up nice and quick and allowed time for tipping off etc

[Mick Stockbridge]

£800 if you've got plenty of work or £600 if you aint busy and need the work.

A lot depends on how far to your tip site,and do you have to drag to chip,but Mick sounds about right imo.

[timtree81]

thats a good days work ,800 max 500 min i would say and thats for 3 men chipper and tipping ,2 maybe 3 loads i would say

[josharb87]

previously reduced or single stems?

if prev reduced, cutting above, below, or at the prev cut points?

vehicular access onto the field?

 

looking at the pics, me and my fav groundie in the uk, with access to the field in the lorry, would do that in a day

ALWAYS look in to a conifer hedge, like Josh says; single stems could be done in 5 hours with 6 cube of chip, multistemed - 8hrs+ and 12cube+ of chip.

 

I one looked at one (for removal) that had grown through and eaten a 12' chain link fence, I didn't get it, thankfully!

 

A little rummage while pricing will pay big dividends.

I would say £1200 that is a lot of hedge dont sell yourself short

Likewise, emphasising how connies always produce twice the material on the ground as standing. As a teaser you can add that if the trees surprise you by containing less than you expected you'll drop the final price a bit.
