    how long is a piece of string - depends on many factors, you'd need to get some tree surgeons in for quotes.

    If they can be straight felled with no cleanup or disposal, probably €200/tree or so for a properly qualified and insured arborist to do it sometime when they're conveniently doing other work nearby.
    If they're in a target rich environment involving overhead services and traffic control, clean up and disposal, multiply the above figure by at least a factor of 10.

    Have a few people coming during the week, for quotes, just need to have an idea of what to expect when they give me a price.

    We had a large cherry blossom taken down and cut into logs, a smaller tree also taken down and cut up. There were also 2 random skinny trees cut down that had grown between ours and our neighbours sheds, so were awkward to get at. He shredded all parts of the trees that we didn't keep as firewood. Finally he cut back branches that were overhanging from our neighbours trees. Total cost was €250. That was a year and half ago.

    can get one, they're 2 evergreens that are dead on the inside but are still growing if that makes sence.

    Wow that was a bargain!

    What about digging up trees? I have a few oaks, about 6 foot tall, that I didn’t plant. Not enough room for them.
    Would a gardener just dig them up?

    We got a quote 460e a day for cutting large trees. This includes the machine guess something like a cherry picker. Not sure what time of year they can be cut

    Ideally after September, when the nesting activity has ceased. Plus, for the deciduous plants, you won't have to deal with the weight of the leaves.

    Is removal of root stump included?

    Or what about Epsom Salts in the stump to rot the roots?

    is that 460 a tree?

    I have a cherry blossom with roots that are pushing up the paving in my back yard. I have the tree cut down to about 3 foot. Ho big a job would it be (as in would it be a massive job) to get the stump pulled out of the ground? I’d say the tree was about 20 years old.

    Look into stump grinding.
