Hi,

We need someone who can cut down a 4/5 meter tree, set amongst other bushes and plants, then cut up the trunk and branches so we can use on log burner or outside oven. Also to take away a lot of garden debris. Not required immediately  as tree has not shed all its leaves yet and we are working on thinning out the garden bushes and other plants.

We are in the El Reloj / La Matanza area 10 km from Fortuna

Cheers

Hi.  I have tree surgery experience and equipment. 

However I do live 100 km away 

So would be €120 for 8 hours work (due to fuel and travel time)

Should you not find anyone closer......

I love full time in Spain so would be available when convenient. 

Many thanks Jon.

Hi Jon

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The charge sounds ok to us. We will have garden debris to be taken clear away as well,, how big is your van? We intend to do a lot of clearing of bushes and planting. We have started and to now have been cutting back and taking out a few small bushes which we have cut up and put in black garden bags and disposed of, but now we will move onto the bigger stuff and would rather it just be taken away although we will cut it into reasonable to manage sizes. Do you have hedge trimmers because we also need to trim back a 20mt long fir hedge down one side of the garden.

Cheers

Robert

Hi Robert. 

I use an old car with seats down to remove waste. Or there is a local spanish guy (hard working) who I employ for bigger jobs with a van.  

Should a van be essential.... and you wanted more labour. His day rate is €60 and I would pay his fuel. 

This would be 2 strong men plus van working 8 Hours with chainsaws 

Hedge trimmers ladders etc... for €180 a day. 

Or I would be happy to make multiple tip runs in car solo...

Hi Jon,

We wouldn't need another person as the two of us can do any labouring, we just need the chain saw and someone who knows how to take down a tree which is amongst other plants etc. and cut it up into usable sizes. And to get rid of a load of garden "rubbish" . I think we will buy a hedge trimmer as we will need one every year to trim back loads of things.

Cheers

No worries Robert. 

I have a good chainsaw. 

We can log up the entire tree. And I can do multiple tips runs. 

If all the matter is bio degradable most farmers and land owners are happy to take it for mulching. 

Let me know when would be convenient. 

Should you wish to proceed ?

Thanks jon

Hi Ann, did you find someone to cut down your two trees last year (2021).
