Advice on price to fell and burn 100 Lawsons

Double it with just two of you...

 

ditto. Don't go and tell them a week and then go way over your contingency...

100 candles? set fire at base of the first one and stand back and fell what left behind if any thing.

In my experience just the brush burns, last year I topped a long stretch that had been burned was a filthy job, god knows why they didn't have them down

[Stephen Blair]

Can they just be felled into the field, away from the fence?

I reckon you will need to burn most of the wood to burn the greenery.

Now thats a plan and if the powers that be complain about the smoke, "some big kids did it and ran off, honest":laugh1:

 

Heads up to the fire brigade first though

Thanks for all this, thought I was being optimistic about how long this could take which is why I posted on here.

Sounds like I should be looking at about 2 weeks to allow for the burning up.

I have always taken it as legal to burn up on site as long as the lop and top originates from that site. A quick google search just makes it confusing so might have to speak to the council, will need to apply for permission anyway as it's inside a conservation area.

I hate burning that stuff.

It always chases me around where ever I try to throw a branch I get a cloud of smoke following me.

Holes in my clothes and singed hair from falling cinders.

Eyes and nose raw from the smoke.

AND I do believe it takes longer to burn than to chip...

Last year we done a quote to fell a line of bigggg buggers like these.

Plan was to remove the lower stem to allow a crane fed Bandit to pass and drag them into its gaping maw nom-nom-nom-nom whilst a tractor and trailer took the chips.

This method advised by higher powers required all to be felled and prepared in advance as the chipper is so efficient.

I didn't get the quote in the end, a local builder won it then got a fine for burning (not legal here) before hiring a shredder which I hope and pray ate all his profit.

Best of luck

You shouldn't need permission to fell them as in my opinion it is classed as a hedge and that is covered by a different act all together.

 

Please correct me anybody if I'm wrong but I didn't think you need permission to fell a hedge ?

There are limits on how much you can burn on site and notwithstanding, you aren’t allowed to cause nuisance, its going to make smoke but you can limit it by how you burn, if you can get hold of a grain drying fan or similar and improvise an air burner you can reduce the smoke by a huuuuuge amount

 

In a conservation area you don’t apply for permission, that would be a TPO. In a CA you inform the LA of your intentions, they can either stop you or not.
