Before & After: Tree Removal

There are two trees in our backyard that need to come out. I got several quotes ranging from $500-$2,200. Darren decided that with some help from his friends (and a new chainsaw) he could take them out himself and save $500, minus the cost of the chainsaw and feeding 5 hungry men. It worked great and now the hazardous trees are gone and there is lots of sunlight in the backyard. Now all we need is a chipper to chip up this huge mess.




A big thanks to Darin, Brian, Mark and Jamie for all their hard work today!!!!

Wow - that just looks like a huge job. Did they have to climb the tree and top sections? - or were they small enough that they could just cut them down at the base? It's nice that Darren & co were able to do it safely and save you guys some $!

The trees were tall and they had to climb them and attach ropes to help pull the branches down safely. Thankfully no husbands, dogs or fences were hurt in the process.
