The going rate here is 1K to 2K per tree, cut and hauled. That's for a yard of course, tight to semi tight quarters.
It's tall enough that if it fell the wrong way, it could hit my back deck and maybe my house. That's also back where I want to build my hot tub deck and a-frame. There are a lot of trees, but there is about a 20 by 20 area where I plan to build it. I will want to address that dead tree before I do that. It's nice and secluded in the summer with all the leaves on the trees.
I told my son he can do it, lol. I'll buy a bigger chainsaw.
There is a small creek right behind my property. We could cut it that way back towards the forest and not towards my house.
