NFT: NFT: tree removal

OBJRoyal : 7/3/2019 5:31 pm
Been waiting on a guy and his crew to come take down two giant white pine trees since early spring. These are 100' pines, one goes up, and splits into 3 "leads", the other is pretty straight forward. They work for 3-4 hours, go to lunch, and when they get back, the guy doing the climbing is beat and cant do anymore today. It's hot and humid here today, so I cant really blame him. Just want these trees down.

Anyone else have issue with tree removal like this??
you got sand bagged for the holiday tomorrow

Had a large Pine taken down and removed by a crew of 4 in under an hour
Don't you pay by the tree?

that's how I paid, so no idea why they'd want to drag it out surreptitiously

Yes, price was for two trees. Would have thought they would have tried to get it done in as little time as possible
I had 4 pines taken down recently...

Did they climb or use a bucket truck?? Had a pretty big one done last year that only took two guys a few hours with a bucket truck

To be honest I have no idea. I didn't watch. They were taking down a neighbors tree when I approached them. A short while later they are knocking on the door looking for payment.
I didn’t pay a dime until the job was done...

and they never asked for payment before the job was done.

all sizes and shapes removed over the past 20 years. All jobs were done the same day. It really depends on who you hire.

I really didn't expect them to be done in one day, but I thought maybe a little more progress
