I had a huge pine comparable to the one I took out (a little smaller) that was leaning toward the house taken out for $300 and that included trimming branches off of a couple of other trees.. Granted, they didn't have to do any cleaning. I just said leave the wood on the ground for me to deal with. I wish I could remember the tree guys that did that one. They showed up at my house with a crew and knocked it out quickly. Granted I think my house was their morning meeting and not all the crew stayed but they made quick work of it. $8500! That must have been some tree! $8500?!

This is not something to be played with by somebody that is not skilled with this proceedure. Even the "pros" have difficulties at times. Just chalk me us with Steve and Cathy.

Our tree was $8500 to take down, cut up, and haul away. That’s so unfair. Our tree was $8500 to take down, cut up, and haul away.

It was probably 3 to 4 feet round at the base and stood taller than most of the other trees in our yard. I climbed it knocking off the branches as I went then brought it down in 10-15 foot sections. That was fun! At one crazy moment I climbed it around midnight and used a hand saw to quietly finish off a section toward the top. It was beautiful being up there above the trees looking out at the stars. Of course, the noise of the section hitting the ground was ridiculous and I decided never to do that again for the sake of my neighbors. There is a lot of risk with the tree out front. I honestly believe I could bring it down safely but it will be contracted to a qualified tree faller. We have one quote. I just need one or two more and then we'll take it down. Aw that’s an optical illusion! :)

Clearly, this is NOT a job for anyone less than a licensed and insured professional tree faller. I’m sure that you have noticed, but in the picture, the tree’s top leans over the house.
