Tree fellers and garden clearance

[Nolar Dog]

Just thought I'd stick this to the masses on here...

I've been clearing a garden of a bungalow I own over in Cheadle, about 5 minutes from Manchester airport.

I've chopped down about 5 of 7' tall conifers and dug them out, roots and all.
Bloody hard work

I now have a garden full of chopped trees and dead branches and I'm looking for someone to clear them.

I also have two (approx.) 18'-20' trees that need felling and removing.

Anyone on here have any recommendations for anyone local (to Manchester/Cheshire)?
Or anyone do garden/rubbish clearances for a job?

If so, please let me know as I'd sooner give the work to a PH'er if possible.
There will be plenty more work too

Thanks in advance.

That's one of the many services my company offers Vicky but London area only unfortunately mate. Remember me if you do the same to one of your stately homes down this way. ;-)

Shame you've cut them in summer, since that means the wood will need to be dry stored for two years before it's usable as firewood. Cut it in winter/spring and it would be usable in a year.

Conifers aren't great firewood, so I'd suggest you build a pyre, douse it in petrol and burn the lot.

Had to cut them now unfortunately.

Might burn them actually as the lawn is being removed anyway

I'd do the whole 'make fire, poke meat with stick' thing. Get some mates round and make an event of it.

I've had different experiences.
Half a dozen conifers of that size should be good for a crackling fire with approx. 15' high flames.

Were you nailed down at the time?

For about 30 seconds.

That's the oil in the needles.

5 gal of diesel and a box of swan vestas are your friend.

By 'great firewood', I mean in a domestic context, for wood powered heating. Coniferous woods spit like fury and don't give out that much heat.

Great for a bonfire though, with a wonderful smell.

A box? Amateur. Anyone good at bonfires only uses one match
