Oak Tree, crown reduction by a third. Tricky. Big.

[7610]

I have an oak tree, I guess it's twice as tall as an average house, trunk is nearly 2m across. 1/4 of it over a house. What is fair ££££s for a crown reduction? Situated in the middle of nowhere Devon.

Hard to tell without seeing access etc. Do you need it pricing up in from Devon.

Cheers

If pictures would help I'll post them.

Sounds like a days work for a couple of good climbers taking it in turns, and maybe an extra groundy to deal with brash.

Get someone off here to come give a price, it's shooting in the dark online really.

Could you list the qual's & experience of the team and the kit / equipment you're planning to use - that would help in estimating a price for you.

 

Plus, what is the full scope of the job? It's quite a range between dropping it and leaving the homeowner to clear brash / break down logs for firewood themselves (seems to be an ever increasing number of people choosing that option) to all chipped, removed from site.

Or both at the same time, more fun and get the groundy running about

I can get rid of all brash/branches/wood and there will be lots. Access is easy I feel, but a fair bit will need lowering due to being over a roof. That'll be about a fifth of it. It's on a quiet road, no neighbours and no TPO. Also as I'm being thick can anyone tell me how to post pictures?

 

Thank you!
