I'm trying to get a ballpark sense (high and low) of the cost of removing a tree from my late father's property in Northwestern Mass. It's a cluster of two cedar trunks around 60-70 feet tall that abuts the northeast corner of the house. A cherry-picker or Condor type crane is necessary, according to a neighbor. It can be driven right up to the site--there's no leach field or septic tank underground there.
I don't know if I can have rounds of cedar wood left for my husband to chop into wood for the fireplace, so an additional question is what's it likely to cost me if a wood chipper comes for the removal too.
Removing the stump isn't something I'm asking about at this time. It's complicated with the way the roots are now married to the foundation. At this juncture, I'm just looking to have the substantial height of the tree taken down before a new storm lets loose another large limb that narrowly misses the house.
Thanks for any help you can provide to a city mouse out of her element.
