I promise you, you would not have been able to take these trees down safely. You would have crushed the garage and/or house.

If you think 6k is too much you haven't had tree work done.

This is backed up by thinking a chainsaw is $80, unless you're buying a POS off Craigslist.

felling trees even in open space is a somewhat squirrelly proposition

they came and cut a big ass tree out my neighbors lawn and it was so cool to see done here in a closely packed neighborhood. they had a huge crane thing and took the tree down in sections i watched them till they were done, fascinating

It's fun to watch the guys that climb the trees to trim limbs before felling them.

I had dead pear tree removed for 150 gbp. Several pine trees for 600 so you'll excuse men if I feel like you were fleeced. Maybe tree removal in the US is just really expensive.

Most I've ever seen was 1.5Gs for a massive oak.

The average cost to remove a tree ranges from $150 to $1,500. But other tree services may cost extra. For example, the average stump removal cost ranges from $60 to $350 and the average stump grinding costs $75-$1,000 depending on numerous factors.

I miss Sabado Gigante.

7 ash trees. Killed by ash borer + woodpecker combo. 6 were at least 50 ft tall, one was smaller, but had a split trunk.

A full grown pear tree is maybe half the size of one of my trees. Pines vary in size so no idea what you had.

You guys can argue with me all you want, but this isn't new to me. I was a construction project manager for 9 years before I went to the consultant side last year. I've had quotes to remove a similar number for about $9k on average. I had 4 large trees and 7 small, 4" caliper trees removed from one site for $14k in Westchester, NY and that was my cheapest quote.

Ash trees are especially difficult because when they become damaged by ash borers and woodpeckers they lose stability and have the tendency to "jump" when they're felled. Each tree had to be trimmed of its branches and cut in 6 ft sections to be removed before felling the last 15-20' piece.

Like I said, they were near power lines, my garage, house, or both.

But keep telling me how your 15' pear tree only cost you $150 to remove.

[Andalusian girls]

i cut down my 15' pear tree myself you fool

Listen. Before I paid Pablo to do it I used to actually mow my lawn myself. I know a thing or two about cutting down trees.

His name was Todd you racist.

50ft trees are pretty tall and sound annoying to bring down. Idk if it's $6000 annoying tho.

When they're your trees, you can take them down yourself. The price was/is good despite what you all think.

I'm not risking crushing my garage, house, or hitting power lines.
