Hi

I want to get 20 conifer trees cut down and stumps removed.

I got a quote from a guy out of yellow pages for £300 stumps removed and everything taken away

I also got a quote from someone just coming round the doors for £180 but he was only going to take it down to the ground, drill a hole in it and pour stuff in to get rid of the roots.

Can anyone recommend? or tell me of anyone to avoid please

    these guys are the only tree company I know of, I don't know what the cost would be, but might be a ball park to base costs on?

    Might be spelling it incorrectly, but Pellipont Tree people or services or something are really good. I don't think they're the cheapest, but they know what they're doing.
  • You must check with the Planning Department that the trees do not have a TPO (Tree Preservation Order) on them. There are heavy fines if you cut classified trees down.

    Unless they're massive conifers and you desperately need the roots removed immediately, I would save a few bob and get the local handyman with a trailer to cuts the stumps and rott the roots
  • Bramble Tree Serices, The Brambles Newtownabbey. Soory dont have the number at the moment but I am sure you could find it in the phone book. Stephen does a brilliant job, have been using him for the past 3-4 years and have recommended him to family and friends who have all been very pleased and impressed with the work and the cost.:j
