Small Rowan tree covered in ivy, needs to come out, how much should I expect to pay?
Can't drop it myself without dropping it through my garage roof.
I've just paid £390 for a 20m fir to be felled, all wood removed, and the stump ground down to below ground level.
Its probably less Tha 20ft high but has spread over next doors yard. That isn't a problem though as they will be happy to allow access!
Hours work realistically if it can be an assisted fell, cost depends on your area, expect to cover a half day cost.
Its in a raised bed, alongside my shed/garage & overgrowing next doors yard & the unadopted lane behind. Needs someone with the right tackle.
EDIT: Rochdale/Gtr Manchester area.
google Low House Forestry, Milnrow to find a telephone number. It's been a few years and I think getting hold of them took a few calls but they cleared loads of trees and bushes from our garden for little money
Ooh ta!
Without seeing the tree. 200
I was thinking around that price tbh, I assume that would include the clear up as well?
Aye, that'd be with everything taken offsite or wood ringed up and stacked for you. Without stumpgrinding though.
I paid 450 for three men all day. Cleared a big site for me, took everything away.
A lot depends on whether they have to go up the tree and take it down in bits, and if so, how many bits. It's just time = money. If you can lop off branches safely by yourself, start with that. I had to get a big sycamore taken down which took 3 days, 8 person-days of work and £1500 all in (including disposing of the brash and leaving the wood) which stung a bit but I thought was fair (lowest of 2 quotes). Last year my parents had a fallen apple tree removed for about £150 which also seemed good value - I'd have done that myself but wasn't around.
