If anyone wants some valuable leylandii mulch I have some still on the tree that you can harvest yourselves for a reasonable price. I can also offer leaf litter and when the spring comes I'll have plenty of grass clippings that can be harvested fresh!

I like the line at the bottom of the ad

" by far the cheapest way to get logs"

I think not, customers pay me to take their logs away (once we've dismantled it)

The add for the larger tree £200 says 20/30 1 ton bags!!

 

As much of a chancer as he is, he might not actually be that far off. A 16ft length of 3ft diameter mid girth poplar is 3.3t. I processed quite a bit of (wet) poplar into firewood last winter and found that I consistently got 2.5 split cube per tonne. So if you get 8 and a quarter cube from the first 16ft, that's 11.3 builders bags...

 

Either way, they are very easy straight fells and I'd offer him a fiver a tonne for them. You tree surgeons forget that forestry contractors pay for trees standing sometimes!
