Maybe I was being pessimistic pricewise. The tree is in a fairly combined
space (about 8M away from 2 houses either side, which is why it needs to
come down) so it would have to be cut down bit by bit. Also the area is a
bit restricted with access through an archway so a tractor would not be
able
to access the land. Hopefully it shouldn't cost too much, I was just
panicking when we realised that it would have to come down.

Thanks for you help.

It all depends!
1. on the size and lay-out of your land; if constricted they'll have to
climb up the tree and fell the upper branches first, and take it down
bit
by
bit, so to speak.
2. Do they have to cut it all up and cart it away?
Here in the country I have lots of space, and felling a tree can be done
in
30 minutes. It would take the rest of the day to saw it all up and
remove
it. And for that you need transport (like my tractor and trailer).
I would not, therefore expect to pay someone with the equipment and
know-how
more than about £350. And if I gave them the wood, it might only cost me
£100. The rubbish would become a bonfire.

Has anyone got any idea how much it would cost for a tree surgeon to
cut
down a 25M poplar tree in our garden? I'm guessing about £1000 how far
out
am I?

Thanks

Be careful
.......................large trees should be felled a 1/3rd at a time each
year in order to avoid heave/subsidence etc
its not best idea to fell a large tree in one go
