I told him it's a 40-50 feet tree and has electric wires going through it so burning it down is a no-go.
Electric wires going through it - leave it to professionals. Not worth electrocuting yourself over.^This!!!^
I had a dude climb it and attach a rope to pull it down. No heavy machinery required 600 plus removalYeah bro I ain't about to do that and that shit don't look easy.

That's not how chainsaws work
$1200 for a tree that tall and with the added headache of the power lined is an excellent price. Most in my area charge $2k-$5k and that doesn't always include the stump grinding.I was going to say, we have ash trees in the neighborhood that needed to come down and neighbors were paying like 3k. 1.2 is definitely a good deal.
1200 is a great price for a 50 foot tree. You're paying for the service, and you're paying for the business that has insurance to pay you damages if they somehow severely fuck it up.
Is your buddy going to pay for your roof or your neighbors street parked car if one of the sections comes down wrong? Because that will definitely be more than 1200.
Do they get rid of the stump as well?
It is simple.Come do it. I'll pay you 2400. However, I expect you to do it just as good as a pro would with no issues. Also he said he'd get it done in a couple hours.
You just cut the tree.
I don't understand. They know damn well it's not easy to cut down a tree. It costs lots of money to get the proper equipment, lots of time and effort and you can easily fuck it up. Why act like it's still so simple? What do you get from acting like that? Does it make them feel manly?Some people are just assholes like that.
That's not how chainsaws workHaving done some work in tree removal, that is how it's done sometimes.
I think it's usually a separate contractor.The stump is something you can do yourself if you have the inclination. You can burn it, you just have to carve out an X that goes all the way to the edge and deep enough that it goes to the base, and then light it with a little help from some lighter fluid or a very small amount of gas. It should burn down cleanly. Just make a fire ring with some rocks before burning it and make sure to have water on hand in case it goes beyond the ring.
why does the tree have electrical wires in itTrees grow. They dont care if the electrical wires are already there.

Having done some work in tree removal, that is how it's done sometimes.In hindsight, I think that was supposed to be a joke about using a chainsaw as a climbing implement.
Theyre likely in the branches not actually within the tree.
A friend of mine recently paid $1200 just to get a stump removed. The tree had been gone.Couldnt rent a grinder?
