For years wife & I have discussed cutting down 4 bogus trees in our yard. The maples drop branches and copious amounts of leaves, and the magnolia has been growing into our sewer pipe requiring yearly root removal. Our left side neighbor is a tree guy for the power company. He's helped us keep the large maples in the side yard in check, but warned us of their poor health. I knew removing the trees would be an expensive venture, but it had to be done, and SOON. So,.. a couple weeks ago I pulled the trigger and had them cut down. A friend of a friend did the job for us and did a pretty good job at that. The total cost was $4000 out the door which is good considering I got estimates of almost $6000 from other places. They flush cut the big maples, and ground the stump on the magnolia.

The house looks totally different with the trees gone,.. in a good way. The side yard got beat up, but the trees were in a confined area with limited space to drop limbs and hunks of trunks. I'm gonna have them come back next spring and grind the maple stumps, then smooth out the yard and plant new grass. I sleep a little better at night now knowing a tree won't fall on the house, and knowing I can flush the toilet without tree roots in the sewer line.
