Large tree

We have a very large eucalyptus tree in the garden. Much as we love it; it does dwarf everything else, takes all the water and casts shadows on the flower beds. So we are thinking of having it removed. Advice would be welcome re probable price and any other problems we might have. Thanks.

Dread to think how much it would cost me to have a whole tree cut down [that's @ three times the height of my house sad].

I think I was very lucky to pay £350 for 8 hours work and two men Grannyboots It was such a relief to get it down as it was literally feet from my house and my neighbours boundary and so big they get really bendy and branches get brittle and can come down in wind my tree bloke mushed up all the greenery and chopped the wood into chunks which I then sold on FB I didn’t have the stumped removed but he told me to put salt on it and it would not grow again
