How much do a tree surgeon charge

[scared of heights]

I think i got a eucalyptus tree in my garden that i want cutting down so i had a quote from someone and they wanted £300 and thats not taking the tree away, so i was wondering if someone could give me a rough price how much i should be charged if a tree surgeon did the work with and without taking the tree away. The tree is about 40 foot high and the branches are about 10 foot long.

A pile of money about this high and so long.

Lots of things effect price, access, rigging limbs down etc. I would never give a quote without looking at the job.

Any pictures?

how long is a piece of string? you will need pics and even then it wont be an accurate estimate. Your best option is to get a few quotes from different people and see the prices from that. Just make sure they have insurance and are legit.

If the tree surgeon is well recomended then there is no reason not to trust his quote .

[John Shutler]

depends, but its about risk - £300 would be fair if the waste was removed, even though someone might do it for £100:lol:

 

How can you say it's fair when you know nothing about the job?

May I quote " Arbtalk.co.uk discussion forum for arborists" with due respect as you maybe a potential client if you ask vague questions expect vague and cynical replys.
