I am trying to get a feel for the price of having a 15 meter tree removed from the front yard. Has power lines around it - so they will have to be careful. It is a eucalypt of some description. Might try and keep the trunk as it is about 5+ meters to the first branch. Sydney area.
Call your electricity authority and tell them its interfering with their assets.
They will remove it for nothing
Mick, to the best of my knowledge, down here it is the land owners responsibility to ensure that the tree does not become a hazard to their assets if the tree is on private property. Would be nice to think that they would remove it though. I also have to get permission from council to remove the tree because of a tree preservation ordinance - another cost!
They dont miss either do they. To get my carport approved I had to pay a pre application fee so that I could pay my application fee:(
good luck
I paid $800 to have one similar removed from a vacant block next to houses.
Bob, that is not how you ask. You should say something like come and remove the tree for me and you keep the wood for $1,000. Its been done before:D
Well, it's certainly been asked before:wink:Quote:

Bob,
I paid $800 to have 25 eucalypts with trunks up to 400 mm diameter and up to 25 metres tall felled and chipped, and I kept about 10 cubic metres of woodchip mulch. My electricity supply cable went between the branches of one of the trees, and that tree had to be cut down piecemeal, which required a fair amount of expertise to do without damaging the cable. I reckon that I got a very good deal indeed, but I had another quote of $950, so the price was in the right ballpark, if a bit low. Sounds as though Dazzler paid too much:)
