When we moved to McLean last year we had a hugh 130’ nuisance white pine in the back yard I had cut down. Only cost me $1700 to cut it down and haul it away. The trunk was so big at the base they could only cut 8” at a time because it was so heavy to carry off.
Yikes. That’s a big tree!
I have a sweetgum tree that is pushing 60 to 70 ft. that is starting to become a nuisance. It’s always shedding something and the roots are starting to mess up the driveway.
2yrs ago, I contracted a local tree co to have 4 60ft Japanese Cryptomeria, 3 60ft American Holly (Ilex Opaca), 1 50ft Blue Spruce (Picea Pungens), 1 60ft Norway Spruce (Picea Abies) removed from Dad's front yard, and the job took 5 days with stump grinding and all chips removed.
Two friends and I cut down a 40ft, 100yr old Yew (Taxus Baccata) in the back yard. It was massive and had impressive trunk architecture.
