Some random guy stopped by and asked me if the job costs $1,000. I told him no, it costs only about $50. Nice guy but he lives in a different era. Another service quoted me about the same price, actually even a bit more but told me it would take a day to just remove the snapped off top and a total of two days at the very least to remove the entire tree. Well these guys worked from 7.45 to 12.45, a total of five solid hours to finish the job. And it costs only $50--the amount I told the random guy from a different world.
I am glad it's over.
it's amazing that a tree of this size can be removed just like that. did you have to report to local council to get an approval? (maybe you've mentioned earlier, but i forgot. :p)
ReplyDeleteNo. We didn't have to report to anybody or get anybody's approval. I think. It's a bit sad to see it go.
ReplyDeletewow, america is such a free country!
ReplyDeleteNot as free as where you are now. Have fun lady.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they did a great job. That is one big tree. It is unfortunate that you will be losing the shade but overall, it seems safer. And it only took 1 day to get it done. Not bad.

ReplyDeleteThey did a nice job I have no complaint. When I saw them work, it was like they have it down as an art, almost. We have a garage right below the tree, so when they cut the limbs they had to secure it and make sure they swing the right direction. It's a pity that a nice tree had to go like this but it's about safety and peace of mind. Perhaps I should plant an acorn and about a hundred years later, let some other people worry about it.
