My daughter would like some sensible person to dismantle a eucalyptus tree in her back garden.

 

Idiots need not apply.

 

She has asked two local "tree contractors".

One said "no problem. £1,100".

The other said "I'll have it down in no time with a cherry picker".

 

Now, there is no access for a cherry picker.

Its in her back garden.

Access via an alley alongside the house.

Reasonable size drop zone on lawn.

 

Tree is approx 30' to 40'.

 

Tea, coffee, sticky buns and toilet facilities available.

 

Pm me if interested.

You could deliver me some logs on the Wirral.

However, as the title of this thread suggests, the tree dismantle request is in BURY, LANCS.

So whats wrong with the price of £1100. . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

:biggrin:

That is about as realistic as the guy who will do it from a cherry picker.

It would take him a week to build it in the back garden.

Am I missing something, You have a little eucalyptus bush of 30-40 foot that you can drop on the lawn and cart away down a passage for £1100. Are you expecting it to cost more or less than £1100.

There are tracked cherry pickers that will get into some very tight spots, fitting through 3ft gates with ease.
