tree felling

[topcat]

I have recently bought a house in the Haute Vienne and need advise on how to fell a rather large conifer at the back of the house. Its approx 45ft tall and rather close to the back of the house. Does anyone know of a tree feller in this region.

Afraid not, and if you decide to do it yourself, don't do what I did:

Good luck!

Hi, if you are the Confolens side of Bellac try Tim at www.charentetree.com

If not, have a look in the classifieds section of www.angloinfo.com (Limousin)

Nice one, Richard!

Just be careful about the prices people want to charge. A Brit guy I know wanted €200+ to fell a 50' conifer. The local woodman took it down in minutes with a chainsaw and tractor, cut it into logs for stacking, and was gone in the hour.

How much? €40. And I keep the wood.

It's worth asking around.

I used gibson services who was half the price of other quotes that I had to remove a very large tree that over hung my house.

He is fully insured and registered so if any thing goes wrong you are covered.

not sure if he covers your area but you could give him a call to see
