1 mt off my conifers

Options
I paid £200 to have 1 mt off my conifers. Three if them fully  eqipped and it took less than 1 hr. Was a bit disappointed if I wanted a bit more off had to pay more.

    What's the question? That's not an excessive price for a line of conifers. Might be excessive if it was only two trees only 2m high  ;)

    What's the problem? Surely you had the quote before the work commenced?The job was done at the agreed price. Why does the contractor have to stay there all day to do the same job? You got your money's worth because the job was done at the agreed price.

    Sounds a good price to me. Especially if they had 3 men on the job.

    Plus they have to get there and then on to next job. Plus taking the cut off branches away.
    Plus maintaining the equipment etc.

    Presumably it comes from the title of the board they've posted on - namely 'Is this quote fair ?'

    Except the OP hasn't had a quote, they've had the job done, so it's a bit late to be asking
