Tree Surgeon Advise
« on: 02 August 2013, 15:22:33 »
If I wanted a very tall Leylandii chopped down, in the Surrey area, anyone got an idea of a ball park figure on cost?

It's taller than a standard two story house, it would need to be chopped up, the core bits left for to be later chopped up for firewood, rest taken away. (all the foliage)

Eg this kind of since (image borrowed from Google)

Humm still ouch, if anything was done, I'd like it reduced by at least 50-75%

Still confirmed I thought it would be expensive, need to save up for it I think  :)

Mortgage + an ever expanding list of jobs to do, means its all eaten up very quickly  :'(

Still I'm wiser than some people in my team, who decided to buy a brand new BMW 530GT

I was briefly tempted to go back to 25 years for the new one, but stuck with old term. So after my next 5 year fixed, its down to 17 years, still a while to go  ::)  :(

The 530GT is quite spacious inside, its quick too for a diesel. Not for me though, white with black wheels  ???

We had thirteen 50ft poplars cut back to 6ft and all the wood taken away.

Cost £520, after negotiation.  :y
