i have a very large maple that towers over the house and shades the whole thing.i have a guy coming to take her down,dead limbs hanging over house.i will hate to see her go but would take out whole house if she came down.he is using a bucket truck to take it down from the top down.he is insured so we are covered.i cut trees down for 25 years and burned wood.i would cut 10 full cords a year so i know what i am doing but this one is to close to the house,needed to take from top down.
Yep, there is a time to back off and get a guy with the proper equipment. Several years ago it cost me $800 to get a medium (24" DBH) spruce out of my back yard. I've been cutting firewood since 1976 10+ cord/yr, have a stable of saws more than big enough and know what I'm doing but the downside of something going wrong was too big for me to risk.
