What a crock. Who in the business is going to do a tree removal at no charge?
 
The usual story - must be licensed and insured and you get to keep the wood. At least she doesn't demand you remove the branches. She just wants the trees down.

I got a smile at the end, though.

Please stop flagging just because your irritated I don't want to hire "Your Services" to do it. I been here for years, and no, I'm not hiring anyone..... I'll just repost it if ya do - I got the time ok.

I have to wonder if "I been here for years" means she's been posting for years.
 
That one does look good for a scrounge CC. Will it still be there when you get off work?
 
HA!

I don't have the tools, time, or space for something like that. Someone will be lucky though.
 
If I lived nearby with a trailer, there would not be much left for the next guy. My Husky 555 would make short work of the major branches and most of the trunk. Even the big trunk near the root ball could be cut fairly short and noodled to be easier to wrestle onto a trailer.

Getting creative are we?

fire pit all natural - $40
Large Sycamore tree for fire pit 42" in diameter. In a few years, you can use the firepit wood to heat your house. Last one left. Has an angle cut for easy viewing of the fire.

I have an oak tree that looks like that, I was disappointed when I bucked it, now I know what to do.

Sycamore = $40

Oak = $60.......you must pick up all pieces and have insurance etc etc

I look at something like that and worry about the root ball unexpectedly flipping up when too much of the top is cut off..............

That happened to a maple blowdown a couple years back. Working top down, got to @10' from the root and it stood itself up. Filled the root crater almost like it never went over. We were expecting it and were working carefully each of the 16" slices potentially as the tipping point

Mine is in better shape than that one but I have to agree with Ashful. If I had a nice chili lunch before mowing it won't be emissions free.
