We have a large sycamore tree that has to come down as its endangering
the roadside dry stone wall. Its a big bugger with four 2ft plus dia
trunks three times the height of the house, and of course only three
feet from a busy road!

I'm waiting with anticipation for the first quote to come through. Any
thoughts on a ballpark figure? I'm struggling to find anyone else
interested in taking on the job so my usual three quote rule for a big
job may have to me bypassed!

A tree on our property started to lean and took out some of the wall
surrounding the whole garden. Insurance paid for its removal and the
repair to the wall. If your tree is exhibiting such wanton behaviour,
you may well be covered by your insurance.
