That's a great price. In these parts, $500 MIGHT get you ONE tree felled and bucked (if you took care of the brush).
Plus you get the firewood!

I told the guy I was doing this to clear space for a swingset for my little boys. I think he felt for me. It's the truth about the swingset too. He also didn't have enough work to have his guys finish a full week so I got a special deal to do this tomorrow. I do feel really fortunate with this deal as I do have a budget to make the swingset and play area happen and it's not a huge sum of dollars. This deal will allow me to spend more on nicer equipment for the kids.
Last month I paid $600 for 2 very tall trees. Both were bucket truck jobs. Just limbed and dropped, I did the bucking and chipping.
I paid $900 and that was for a bucket truck, a climber (way too tall for their bucket truck) and two other guys to feed a chipper for the branches.
Would have been more if he had to dispose of the pine.
$1200.00 for 7 oaks and misc. trees from my sister's house the weekend before.
My neighbor paid $1800. for some one to come in with one of those tree grabbers cranes that can lift a standing cut tree over a house and put it on the ground where they can cut it up.
I did call someone else who gave me a quote from a description only .(couldn't be bothered coming out and looking) was almost double.

I'll try to get pics up tomorrow. I've got my 1 and 2 year old and they are making me crazy.
They started at noon and got done at 6...I think it was more work than they planned..
Now I start shopping for swingset.

I tried to help the guys out. I ran the chipper shredder for 3+ hours and both kids thanked me. The owner dropped the trees and left the cleanup to the 2 helpers.
I'm hoping to get the logs finished bucked up and hopefully split tomorrow.
