Cost to remove leylandii

NaughtiusMaximus

We have 3 large (about 40ft) leylandiis at the far end of the garden, can anyone give me a rough idea as to the price we'd expect to pay a tree surgeon to cut down and remove them? The only access to the garden is via a side passage.

Get two local gardeners / tree surgeons in and ask for written quotes.

I have no idea where in the contry you are.

We live in Brum, we will get a few quotes but would be good to have a vague idea what sort of figure to expect first.

Start around £500 plus Vat for a proper fully insured professional job.

My son had 8 or 9 trees removed leaving the stumps. The trees were about 30ft but very wide and bushy. They had access from a tenfoot and removed all the wood. It took 3 men under 2days and they had all the equipment. It cost £800 last year and I believe he got a very good deal.

It'll be a half day for a 3 man team, plus a few waste loads. I'd expect £600-ish.

Yes I would expect the upper end of £500-£750 because of the side access and make sure the quote includes grinding out the stumps.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

You might also have to factor in new fencing because it is likely they will have damaged any existing fences.

I am just about to have a row taken out. 68 ft length about a dozen trees, around 30 ft. Cost £950 plus vat. That includes grinding the stumps.

The fencing is going to be £1200 including vat.
