The Cost of Cutting Down Our Oak Tree

This was about 2' from the kitchen on one side, and 2" from the bedroom on the other side. The father is the one that climbed the tree and cut it. They took a section of tree and made slab wood 2" thick and my dad built three coffee tables with that. The Father asked how high do we want the stump, as we were not removing it. Dad said 4" and I think you can put a level on it amazing work. When they were done you did not find any signs of the tree other than the 4" high level stump and the slabs. no sawdust, no branches nothing. What a great job. oh this tree was perhaps 5' in circumfrance at the base.

The big oak tree came down today. It took two guys 2 hours and the cost was $400.00. They cleaned everything up when they were done. We kept the wood, but they kept the chips. We were very pleased. We didn't ask if they were insured even though I know we should of. I will blame my sister because I was not there to ask. They had business cards and seemed very professional.

Glad you got it down with no complications. Enjoy the warm fire next season!
