Advice on price to fell and burn 100 Lawsons

[dave28]

Have been asked to clear a very large hedge on a day rate basis for a friend and neighbour. There are about 100 Lawson trees ( many suppressed or dead) planted as a hedge and now around 40 feet high. All can be felled into a rough paddock, trimmed out and the lop and top burned on site, cord and logs to be left stacked. There are no obstructions other than fences on the rear side but the larger trees will need pulling over. There will be a massive amount of burning up to be done. I am guessing it's about a weeks work for two of us with a loader tractor but would appreciate some opinions on that as I would like to be able to give some kind of estimate. Many thanks.

reckon you should be able to drop, sned and log between 12-15 of these per day including all the handling and stacking, so 2 of you are going to have a busy week, good luck and have fun, but be carefull

Need to watch out with the burning sure I have read/seen somewhere about restrictions I may be wrong though

I reckon the fire alone will be longer than a week lol

Work out your costs (fuel,insurance,etc)and add some profit and that's what you should charge, but reading your profile surely you should know this??

3 men two days whole tree chipper you might even get some cash for the chip to off set the price of the chipper.

Or get rid of the 3 men and get some tree shears in and do it in a day

2 men £300 per day, assuming the tractor you mention is Supplied by client time depends on how mental your willing/ allowed to make the fire.
