Price and method to remove this large Oak

[Billy]

TBH the glorys gone from big trees for me, if I haven't done one for a while it seems quite exciting for the first half hour, but once I start chogging with a big saw,mouth and trousers full of saw dust, aching knees and getting irritated with the people on the ground the novelty soon wears off! Can make the same money poncing about with the little stuff IME

 

 

I agree, and I think this sort of work should command a substantially higher day rate than your everyday conifer removals and topping etc.

That's the problem, loads of fresh faced lads love these sort of jobs and price low to win it so they can brag about the monster tree they took down, these sort of jobs are kit/body intensive, I'm much happier doing them if I've priced a nice margin on it, nothing worse than under pricing a big un, every time another liter of petrol goes in the 395 it really hurts!

Looks like its been topped before.

Easy day £500 and a few hundred quid of firewood.

The lowering kit can stay in its bag

Pretty much agree:thumbup1:

 

But I'd be looking for nearer £750+ VAT.

I'd say £700, two men for two days and I'd try and get the butt lifted out to speed things up a bit
