If you're looking at tree surgery / removal in Boston right now, you should be seeing quotes in the £170 to £1,275 range per tree. That's based on current Lincolnshire contractor rates and the wider UK market. Anything well outside those numbers is worth questioning before you sign.
About tree surgery / removal in Boston
Boston is a small town of around 46,000 in Lincolnshire. The housing is mostly a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semi-detached housing and modern new-build estates. That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like PE21 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit below the UK average. Lower contractor overheads and shorter distances across Lincolnshire do most of the work.
East Midlands pricing sits a touch below the national average. Nottingham, Derby and Leicester are the higher end; smaller towns are noticeably cheaper. Plenty of Travis Perkins, Selco and Howdens branches across the region means parts rarely hold a job up.
Landscaping prices move with materials. Natural stone, porcelain pavers and composite decking have all climbed sharply in the past two years. APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) is the trade body to look for. Retaining walls over a metre need Building Regulations, and raised decking over 30cm can need planning consent — worth checking before you start.
