Felling prices

[Bucheron]

Evening,

 

Anyone out there able to give me the going price per cubic metre for felling of large oak? East kent.

 

Thanks,

Depends on size of trees? is it thinning? how are they getting it out? terrain?

 

around 18-22

[Bucheron]

Not thinning, mature trees. Getting it out - nothing to do with me! So just the felling, snedding etc. You saying £18-22/m3...?

[steve collins]

If they are mature then will be the low end of the scale

[Bucheron]

Roger... Is that price to include sorting out the crown (for firewood)? I ask as the big tree felling I did in France there was a separate bloke to break down the crowns and we had a price just for felling and severing at first fork. (About 9€/m3 for that - not as good as here!!)

55-65p per hoppus foot,...breaking tops out for firewood £16 / t

[steve collins]

yes it would be just for timber and firewood 15-17 a ton, brash piled up for burning

Guys I think you may be talking cross purposes.... Steve you don't mean you're paid £22 per cube to fell mature Oak and that's a low price. That's £26 quid or so per ton at stump!

 

If you do please can we have a site of yours!

 

Cheers

Gone up five fold in 20 years then, I used to get the tops for free.

Tops are still free thats just what that cutter gets. I'd never get 22 for mature oak
