went to look at a tree job last night, it was originally prune 1 silver maple off the house, 2 sugar maples, and prune 1 tree in back up a bit, just 2 branches i think. well the guy said last night that he wants the tree down. its about 5' at the base, and is about 10 feet from the house, leans right up over the house. all the wood has to go. guy wanted me to cut it down, and prune the other 3 trees for 1800, and get rid of the wood for another 200. i told him no, then he gave me a hard time, oh this guy a few years ago gave me a price of 1300 for the one tree, everything goes. i figure it will be 2 days for the one big tree, 1 day to prune the others, and 1 full day with 4 guys, full size backhoe, and dump truck. i figure we will load up about 3 trucks of wood no problem. 10' dump mitsubishi. his friend however does want the wood, so we gotta move it about not even 5 miles away. i am thinkin more like 5K is good for this job. he said to write it up. so that is what i am gonna do.
