Van and chipper with operator what is the going day rate?

[Horatio]

Climbers one of the fastest and best in the country! groundies run back"n"forth to the chipper.

 

Pretty sure no one runs back from the chipper.

Had this on my thread lol. 😜

Yes I did get your message but I've been away in Lancashire and only got back tonite but will be in touch tomorrow. With regards to climbers and groundies, well there's no climbing and I'm the only other body. It's a large garden clearance job, overgrown hedge, large woody shrubs (really small trees) and large laurel brushes.

HM,

No worries.... Sounds like it's right up our street.....

Can't you burn on site? Or hire a small chipper and re-use it as mulch.

Can't burn on site as it's in the middle of city centre and the thought of chipping and leaving on site has crossed my mind. I do have access to a tracked chipper, but seems like client isn't so keen. But thanks for the input:001_smile:.

Sounds like a large chipper and operator may be sitting idle whilst you bring the stuff to him, unless you plan to have it all stacked (where? Nightmare to pull apart also).

 

I'd get a small chipper and run it through as you cut it, filling bags of chip to take away. And leave a few out front with a sign saying 'Free- help youself. Great for the garden!' Saves a lot of dragging and mess.

 

Big chippers are great when you're taking down trees. For garden work plodding along is often better.

£300 sounds pretty reasonable to me, but a quick trawl on the likes of eBay confirms that you'll find many working for a lot less.

 

£300 sounds expensive... Round here we can hire a JCB digger and driver for £250.

 

To break it down, probably £150 labour and chipper fuel/transport for around £50 - £75.

I hear the logic in that, thank you. Defiantly know what saying about cutting and stacking, much better to cut and chip. Thank you.

Thanks Warners that's very interesting, but guess there's always going to be a regional variation.

[HertsWood]

Depends where you are. Regional variations will apply. 2x men, truck and chipper @ £500 + VAT here
