I would like to get rid of two trees in our backyard.
They are too big for the space (we have 5 in a postage stamp).
One of them is a sewage sucker, with our side sewer being the source.
I have received 3 quotes (called 5, but two did not respond)
$2200, $1000, $1900. Hmmmmm.
The first quote was the first, and floored me a bit. The guy seemed sincere, and I had one good personal reference, but he kept pointing out potential problems (access) so I was a bit worried about increases or not being able to perform.
The second quote, the lowest, was very tempting. But I didn’t really know much about them so I checked the state and BBB sites. No real problems (violations) showed up on the state, but the BBB has a no recommend based on four complaints, some of which were resolved.
The third quote, requested after finding the No recommend, is close to the first, but the fellow seemed really knowledgable and spoke about how he could get the project accomplished (instead of problems). No bad hits on state or L&I site, so …..
Decisions, decisions. I need to get this done before the winds pick up and the tree folks get busy.
