I had about 12 leylandii felled, all about 20 feet high. Cost £150. I
suppose it depends on where you live (I'm in NW England), and perhaps it
depends on the tree being felled, but both your quotes sound incredibly
high.

How much should i be paying for a tree surgeon? I've got two very large
Poplar Trees - one I want felling, and one I want cut to at least half its
height.

I've got two quotes: £700+VAT, and £350+VAT.

Why such a difference? I dont want to pay over the odds..and i dont want
some cheap cowboy either.
