Stump Grinding - South Bucks (lots of it)

[Cheib]

Hi, we moved to a new house (for us) last summer which has a large garden which for the last nine months we have gradually been clearing. Recently had an arborist in to cut down the last of the trees that needed removing (hedge line that had got out of control).

 

We have probably a solid weeks work...maybe more...stump grinding that need30-40 tree stumps plus stumps from woody shrubs.

 

We've had a quote from current arborist which seems very expensive so very happy to use someone else.

 

If nobody interested in quoting I'd be interested to know what people think is a fair rate for 5 days work. One person and a stump grinder.

 

Access is very good.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them on here.

Hi

 

I have a big tracked stump grinder. I am happy to do this job for a fixed price of total £1,300 providing the machine can track around the garden. Please call me to discuss if interested.

Pics as requested...the stumps with the eco plugs are Trees Of Heaven that had gone "viral"...previous owner had cut two of the four down and not poisoned them so when we turned part of the garden was like something out of Day of the Triffids! The moss covered stumps were under a big clump of nettles and brambles, trees were cut down at least ten years ago.

 

 

 

And a pic of the tree line that was cleared....gives an idea of access

 

 

And lastly for no good reason other than thought you chaps might appreciate it...the pride and joy...Sequoia in the front garden although the **** that lived here 20 years ago cut the top 30 feet off!

All looks fairly routine, the only issue is the ones right next to the wall, may have to leave a little bit rather than damage the wall, but your contractor would have to make that decision when he's there.

Big grinder, 1 day.

i agree the wall can pose challenges and a nice long day big machine all goes well ensuring no wires cables or silly pieces of metal lol

[redmoosefaction]

As Mick Says...500-600... those big grinders would probably do it in half a day.. same money though...they are £40k machines.

[Mick Dempsey]

Not sure I ever said 500/600. That's too cheap IMO. Let's not go crazy here:confused1:

its always best to actually see the job location sizes and layout including access difficult to price just from picture but on that note i would say 950 -1300 final price would have be after site visit or if ya pushed to give one via pics alone then go towards top end

Agreed.
