I'm getting known as a 'wood' guy in our community. I've been seen removing downed oaks, and recently a pine, from the front of a couple of neighbors' homes. Now another neighbor is offering me two fairly good size (maybe 15 inch diameter) Water Oaks that are in their pasture and have died from our killer drought. I can drop the trees fairly easily. My dilemma is... I'm really doing them a favor. They got a quote of several hundred dollars from a real Tree Guy. They know I scrounge for wood. I don't mind cutting them down and taking the wood from the trunk and larger limbs. I do not want to do a clean up job for them. Should I be expected to?
If I fell the trees and remove 80% of them, since it's at no cost to them, I shouldn't feel badly about not also removing all the brush/tops. I have no place to put it and we are in a months long burn ban. I'll leave a fairly neat pile in their pasture and let them handle it.
Does that seem fair?
