mikeman Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I have a fairly large Ash tree that's dying of the ash borer disease(every ash that hasn't been treated is dying), the neighbors had a crew out there cutting their tree down so I wandered out and asked if they wanted a small side job. The guy said sure and I told him there were 4 branches pretty high up and wanted them to lop them off(I'd clean it up), I showed him what I wanted and asked how much. he said he'd drop the whole tree for $100. I was stunned, I was willing to pay maybe $200 just for the branches since they're too dangerous for me with my cheap electric saw that I'd have to climb with a ladder and then stretch out. When he finished I told him $100 wasn't enough and gave them $150. I know for a fact other neighbors are paying $1500-2,000 to have trees cut down, today's my lucky day men.

Jimmy Hoffa Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I'm pretty good with a chainsaw and don't mind felling trees. But it's the cleanup afterwards that I'm willing to pay for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messy, drafts, maintenance, etc. I wouldn't have one personally but your arrangement is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
