Palm trees need triming recommendations?

We are west of Girne and last year we used a man called Ramazan to trim two palm trees as they had become too tall for us to do. He, and I think it was his son, did a great job and cleaned up the trunks for the first time too which was quite a task. We arranged a skip to dispose of all the trimmings. I believe it was £50 per tree but maybe it's gone up now. His number is +90 542 880 20 92

Just had ours done, great job, cleaned the trunks, cleared the cuttings, £30 per tree. Erdal 05338444847, lovely guy and his wife. Very happy with their service.

it would appear prices have gone up £80 quote for 1 palm tree.

Outrageous, what a rip off!! We have 6 very tall trees, my double ladders go no where near, we had them done last week, £22 per tree however, we had to move all the leaves Etc, two of us over two hours. I hope you told him where to stick it?

people should avoid these rip off merchants

nonsense

If the trees can be climbed and you find a climber, responsible for the rubbish the price varies considerably.
I find now they pluck a price out the air and see your reaction.
Yes it's dangerous work, I fully understand that part but when I did them myself it is a great feeling. Unfortunately after 15 years it dawned on me the danger and I stopped and ask around for quotes for my customers.

new quote: 1 palm , remove old leaves and seed pods and light trim 1500TL

Tree trimed

final result

Why post 3? It was a good price and a great job.

not for me £80 for one palm tree post 3 quoted

Ah confusion I believe. I counted yours as the 1st post, therefore mine was 3, £30 per tree. Maybe you don't count your own post?

Did he take away all cuttings for 1500tl

All cuttings taken away, tidy job, 3 trees, 5000tl, so a bit less than £30 per tree.

Yes nice tidy job
