I've got two 100' pecans in a backyard I am estimating. They are covered in ivy and will definitely be a beast to take down if I win the bid. DBH of both is probably about 4' (notice pic 3 with my sneaker at the base). A lot of wood will need to be lowered on account of a garage, powerlines, and a fence. A crane is out of the question because the nearer tree is still 75-80 ft away from the front yard where the crane would be. A 70 ton runs over 3000 per day and I don't think the owner wants to pay for two days of crane work.
Would it be necessary to remove all the ivy before I dice up the trunks? I think the main spars will not need to be rigged because there is a decent sized drop zone between the trees.
With me as a climber and two groundmen, I think it's possible it could take 3 days but as much as 6. Because of this, I am obviously not going to try and lowball it. I haven't climbed many trees this big before so I am uncertain on how I should price it. I will need to rent at least 1 40 yd bin ($350) because I don't have a chipper and my dump truck isn't big enough. Plus I may rent a bobcat (250 including delivery) on the final day to move around the big wood. Pricewise, I was thinking 6400. Do you guys think that's reasonable?
Sorry about the shoddy pics. All I had on me was my cell phone. Thanks so much for your help!
