Is Davey coming down from Kent? Is $3100 a firm price or a "not to exceed" price? RCX is and root pruning is difficult to quote without seeing what is going on down there. They may open it up and find very little. Did they dig around by hand before quoting? Can you post a pic?
There are others around. Hey
@Jason Douglas - know anybody with an AirKnife or AirSpade east of Columbus that would go to Guernsey County?
You might contact Lola Lewis (Urban Forester with ODNR - Division of Forestry) to ask if she knows of anybody local.

Pretty sure McCullough's has one and they have an office in Zanesville 740.454.1789 - but that doesn't necessarily mean they have the Air Spade at that location?
I'm in NW Ohio so drive time would be killer...not $3,100 kind of killer (I'd spend a day for less than that - but I'm currently swamped up here!)
