Tree removal?

[Hawk]

wrong? what could go wrong?!!!!!

just make sure you video it, you might get $10G back from America's Funniest Videos

you can buy a pretty sweet chainsaw for may less than getting someone else to do it for you! I could see the Poplar based on you saying it's proximity to the house and all so I'd be tempted to get that one down professionally..

Had about 3 big trees that were dead that I removed about 3 years ago. My landscaper at the hotel had a guy he uses. 350 for all 3 with no stump grindage. Killer deal!!!

i've had some priced. i have a small yard with 5 pines and would like to get rid of a couple of them.

you can expect 250 to 300 per tree. i'd assume it goes down for large quantities, but i don't know.

I was thinking the bumper was coming off or the stump was going to go through the back window!!!!!

Didn't have the stump go through the back window, but once had a chain snap in two while doing exactly what that Dodge did and the chain went through the window. Yikes.

If they don't save my any money by hauling it off, I'll keep it... My grandpa still burns a wood stove to heat his house, and he is currently overloaded with firewood... but I'll take him some more if it is the same price either way...

I don't think Sweet Gum burns all that well though...

Very little heat for sweet gum- of course poplar sucks as firewood too.

The sweet gum splits a lot easier than the other gum wood.

Really you should just pile all of the wood up, let it season for a few months, and then throw a Huddle party with bonfire, cold beer, and hot women.

oh, and I'll be planting some more trees to replace these... gotta be green like that...

My trees will be fruit trees though... mmmmmmmm

Just a heads up. I don't know if you've ever had fruit trees before but they are messy. Plus you'll have bees everywhere!

[Kettle]

could the same be said for flowering trees concerning bees? i want crepe myrtles, bradford pears, dogwoods or the like.

Yeah, my other grandpa has apples, peaches, grapes, etc.... I know it can get messy, and yep on the bees/wasps/etc.

You know what is absolutely the worst for that? Friggin' figs! I've seen hordes of wasps in fig trees...

Shouldn't have any trouble other than pollination... Fruit is what they are after on the others...

the more fragrant trees will attract more bees.

crepe myrtles and dogwoods get some bees but not much.

Bradford Pears don't last when a good wind storm comes along. Beautiful trees in the spring but go to poo in high winds.

Ice will fug up some Bradford Pears! I used to have 4 along the driveway, we had an ice storm and just about ruined everyone of them.
