No doubt licensed and bonded?

I know just enough about felling trees to know that is a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) notch.

it isn't a notch at all it is a V at no point was a notch cut.


if you can't explain an open face cut vs a undercut sometimes called a Humboldt and what each is used for a hinge and holding wood , use the phone to call someone who knows that and other types of notch as well and what they are used for.

Unknowing home owner or one just trying to save money?

I have been called back after I was told I was to expensive to fix similar mess. Sadly the worse one was my aunt. Business lady very successful and book smart. Tried to go cheap on a very large oak over one of her business. Told me I was to expensive went with the cheapest guy. Called me back like it was an emergency when the huge old tree was inside her business. It was not an emergency to me.

I went buy to see it took some pics could not stop laughing. She didnt see why I thought it was funny. It took a while for it to register when she asked how long it would take to get the tree off .and out of the building so she could get it fixed. I told her she didn't have enough money to afford me got in the truck and left.

If it was someone trying to save money I will just say that's what they get. If it was just an uninformed home owner I feel sorry they got taken for a ride. At.least they got a free rope and now its an insurance job so only the deductible will be their out of pocket expense.


Sure is a mess.

he explained in the first post lawn guys , and that the tree is on the neighbors house not the people who hired the law guys.

For added context. I bid this tree at $950, it's at a near million dollar cabin. Two guys and 2 ladies showed up to do this tree, the rope is something you'd get for .10 cents a foot at a hardware store, they had it about 8 feet up the tree. The ladies were pulling the rope and the guy was cutting. Customer heard a loud bang and lots of screaming, when they went out to see what happened everyone was getting in the truck to leave.

Though it doesn't look that tough to get that tree gone it was actually extremely difficult, the hill it's on is to steep to drive a bobcat up. We charged $7,500 to safely get that off the house with no additional damage

did you chain/strap the base to the stump crib and jack the tree off the house , then cut all the limbs down to the cribbing in small lengths then pull the trunk away from the house?

I am curios your process if you get time to explain.
