I've recently chopped down a few very large conifer trees in my garden meaning I have a lot of excess wood, is this something your company would buy? If not do you know

If any other company etc... that does?

 

Many thanks

 

 

 

 

How much should I offer

I would reply " Yes definitely. If you cut it into 1 foot lengths and split it into logs no greater than 6 inches in diameter and supply it at a moisture content less than 20% I can pay you £10 per ton delivered. When do you wish to deliver it?

I once was conned into looking at a "job" involving a long narrow sloping garden where at the bottom there was a huge pile of assorted cuttings, clippings etc.

The owner suggested that they would be willing to let me have it if I wanted for the upcoming village bonfire night, I said no and they were quite miffed saying something along the lines of "you try and do something for the community....."

I get these stupid emails weekly. Worse still, they're often in London and I'm not really in the area.

Laughed so much I feel sick

I get these every week as well. It's mainly 'if you come and cut down my overgrown Connie hedge you can keep the wood as payment!'. I am tempted to turn up, straight fell a few onto their lawn then say actually I've changed my mind and bugger off!

I had an email with a photo attached this week showing a pile of chipper food, knotty crap and rot. They were willing to let it go for £300 if it was cash. I was tempted but instead went to look in the yard and realised at that rate I had enough to order a small carribean island, yacht and 2 helicopters. Who needs the lottery when you do tree work!!
