"This would entirely depend on the size of the bush itself and how established the roots are. Laurels are very hardy and dense bushes which would require specialist equipment for removal and disposal.

The cost would depend on the individual doing the work but you could be looking at upwards of several hundred."

"All depends on the size and waste, only way to have an accurate price is to see it in person."
