Ich habe im hinteren Teil meines Gartens einen großen Nadelbaum (Foto im Anhang). Mir wurden 3.000 £ angeboten, um es zu kürzen und alles zu entfernen.
Das ist der Großraum London.
Der Zugang ist einfach – große Auffahrt, ausreichend Parkplätze, keine Probleme beim Einbringen der Ausrüstung.
Ich versuche nur, die Vernunft zu überprüfen:
Klingt das mit 3.000 £ ungefähr richtig?
Oder es lohnt sich, weitere Angebote einzuholen
Prost 👍

Sounds a good double to me. Get another quote! Mind you, central London prices perhaps.
I will do it for £2k. I mean, how hard can it be. Sorry I mean, yeah i do them all the time.
They’ll have to climb that and chip onsite so yeah probably fair for London. Are they doing the stump too?
Cheapest option is to leave it where it is!
I just paid £ 600 just to trim one quarter of a neighbour’s Leylandii tree hanging into my garden. It took two men a good part of the working day to do that and filled half their truck with the ground up cuttings. We’re just outside London.
It’s a big job. And one of them was up in the tree hanging from a harness for most of the time.
They were accredited and had their own liability insurance.
£3k for a whole tree is high but doesn’t sound unreasonable.
Check the conifer is not subject to a tree preservation order
Also London here. Paid 2k 2 years ago for something similar.
A relative had to take down a similar conifer in Brighton and did their research, I think they paid around that price, maybe 2.5k.
I’d pay £3k if somebody could put that conifer in my back garden.
To the ground everything gone and stump ground out?
Please keep the tree there, it looks cool.
I’d say that’ll take 3 people, a day, day and a half.
Why would you cut it down?
It’s not near the house
Don’t remove it!!!! Garden will look so uniform without, it’s a beautiful evergreen tree
If and when you do it
Unless you are using the chippings yourself
Reach out to local groups
We took down a pine tree last year and had people line up to take the wood away for us
It’s a nice looking tree. No idea why people are hell bent on cutting every single thing down.
Shame, stunning tree
I live in Derbyshire. My son has his chainsaw ticket and is trained to do things like this.
He recently quoted a neighbour of mine £3k to remove a sycamore tree which was very close to the neighbour’s house, because it would require more than a quick afternoon with a chainsaw to take it down. If the tree fell in the wrong direction it would easily take out another neighbour’s extension, for example, so extra insurance was required. On top of that, the access was limited: the only way to take out the remains of the tree was through a very narrow alleyway along the side of the neighbour’s house, which meant they couldn’t easily load the wood into a trailer and would have to take it out via wheelbarrow, which required a lot of manual labour.
I am sure that in lovely London (I miss it!) the rates are going to be higher.
So the things to consider are the safety (will extra insurance be required? Are neighbouring properties at risk?); access (is it going to be possible to easily load the tree onto a trailer, or will that require extra manual labour? Is there parking for a trailer and a chipper for the smaller waste? Do you want the wood taken away or are you intending to keep it for firewood?); and how quickly do you want the work done?
If the tree has no chance at all of falling onto your neighbour’s garden or house, if the access means you can get a trailer right next to the tree, or if you want to keep the wood for firewood and are happy to split and stack it yourself, then these will all affect the price.
I just feel like a massive amount of decking and astroturf is in this garden’s future 🙁
Keep it! Looks great
Please keep the tree … I hate watching everything green get paved over. The whole world is uglier for losing nature 🌳🌳🌳
Why do you want to remove it?
The garden will look bare, it’s big enough to take it.
Beautiful tree. Shame to cut it down.
London needs more trees not less of them
Why are you removing it??
Get tree quotes to compare.
I would ALWAYS get at least two quotes. For everything.
Seems fair. But why?
Why on earth would you want it gone? Let alone willing to part with thousands for it. Madness
I’d keep it if I was you. But yeah somewhere around 2.5-3k would be my price for that based on this photo. Whereabouts are you located?
Yeah, but why would you want to?
Shop around.
I paid £500 to have 8 conifers at least that big removed from my garden. You need to find some gypsies!
Jesus the comments here…I was a self employed gardener/landscaper/tree worker for 10 years and managed the largest landscaping company in Scotland for a few more – £3000? For that sapling?
Either the cost of living in London is far worse than I realise, or this culture of ripping people off has become so normalised that people are now recommending scammers based on being scammed themselves in the past.
It’s a days work. Tell me which business, even one turning up with five people, including waste removal/expenses needs £3000 for a days work where no materials are being brought other than pocket-change machine supplements like fuel/additives?
£1000 tops. A two man team of myself and a well paid assistant would be in profit for £600.
Madness.
