Reply to comment by Aggravating_Foot_528 in Questions About Tree Removal and Property Lines by Flip3408

Makes sense. The trees are in a terrible spot for removal, they're on a steep slope with maybe 8' of sloped yard between the house and a steep drop off in the back, and maybe 6' between mine and my neighbors house to the side. I'm expecting removal or maintenance is going to be very expensive. While I'm usually in that same mindset that I'd rather just do it myself, in this case it might be thousands of dollars.

I like doing stuff myself too but it's worth getting a professional for most trees since you could die. I agree.

just for reference... I had 3 trees removed a couple years ago. They were extremely large and overgrown maple trees. It was $4K to have all them removed and to have the stumps and roots ground out. (There was an amazing amount of roots above the ground spreading out from the trunks) It was basically 1K per tree, plus an addtional 1K for the grinding.

I know that I could have it done a bit cheaper, but I had a professional service come in that had proper and efficient equipment. You can get it done cheaper if you're OK with one of those outfits that are basically just two guys and a chainsaw.

I used Keystone Tree Techs; I think they're based out of the Monaca area; I'm in the north hills. Not sure they go to south hills.
