How much would it cost for this work?

I have an area of land at the rear of my house that is copletely overgrown with bramble, invasive weeds, willow trees, sycamore and alder, all about 6m in height saplings and some larger ones... The area measures about 4m wide and 140m long and all this needs clearing. There are about 100 trees in total. There are also 21 conifers 50ft in height that wants reducing down to 5m. This acts as a barrior for a factory. The land is private and is up to the ocupants to foot the bill. Does anyone know of what sort of price we would have to pay for this work to be done and all wast removed???

How much would it cost for this work?
i charge £25 labour an hour for chopping treesdown/cutting them up and the same for using a strimmer/brushcutter,plus petrol,oil etc plus petrol and driving time to get to site.you might want to consider these prices when some one gives you a quote.give me a cal email me if your in west sussex?
Reply:if the area was just soil you could workout the cubic area and how many loads there would be to remove, with it being brash and trees i has a contractor would charge approx £140 per 15 ton load and £22 per hour for a jcb, if thats any help
Reply:To clear this lot you need to get more than one quote!!!! BUT........... think about this:- you could do some of the easier work with a "work - Party" perhaps. Copious amounts of booze and a few sandwiches and someone who likes to make a bonfire / BBQ and hay presto........the main clearing is done. Just an idea .this is what we did with my daughter's new house / garden a year ago. We all had such a good time and a lot of fun. Perhaps you can wait for the better weather to make it even more fun. Booze and food seems to bring a lot of friends to the fore !!!!! Good Luck.
Reply:Put in a couple of pigs and some chickens they will clear the ground cover quickly. Sell the eggs and when pigs reach weight sell them for slaughter- use money to pay tree surgeon. Sell wood from felled trees for firewood. When land clear plant spuds to nourish soil at first. OR...


Sell land and some one else will do it, but chickens are great to have around..
