yes, the tree trimmers are quite expensive but they do dangerous work, taking trees down isn't easy, we just paid 975. to take the two down closest to the house, the one boy climbed the tree, cut the limbs as he came back down, then they cut everything up and piled it into a pile for husband to do whatever. that was the only person who would come out to give us an estimate, other companies wouldn't even come when they learned they couldn't get the big "cherry picker" into the pasture, i have to admit, the one who did the climbing and cutting was either very brave or crazy. probably bothNo place in the yard where those trees don’t tower overhead. And losing this lot would break my heart. We have mountain views that are as much a part of me as my eyes are. So we’ll risk it. Least expensive tree service we’ve found charges us $400.00 a tree for trimming, and we asked about taking one of them out but the estimate was $1000.00 - $1500, depending on which of the trees. The highest price was for the biggest tree. One day we decided to hold hands and form a ring around the Goliath’s trunk. It took 6 of us to go around it.
forgot to say, these two were in the pasture but big enough to hit the house if they fell wrong,

I'm going to have to do some of that today myself.
