This is the best answer. Had to do this last year. I'm still mad about it. Good thing I'm rich as eff though.

Huff's tree service layed down a 40 foot cotton wood in my back yard for $700.  I cut it up and hauled it away myself.  They just laid it down safely for me.

My dad spent 2k on rattlesnake antivenom for his dog after it was bit.

He lived though, so it was worth it.    :cheers:

I wasn't  :flush: your post. I was  :flush: FP TC's because there is nothing wrong with spending $2k on your animal. Unless it was a cat or something weird.

It depends on the size of the tree and its proximity to buildings roads, etc., really.

It was a huge tree, directly between my house and my neighbor, amongst fences, etc.  It was a massive undertaking...plus, they trimmed every other tree in the yard.  I wouldn't have dare done any of that myself.  But, I don't do anything in my yard myself.
