It required climbing, limbing and topping them. I hired a friend who has an arborist business in Ward. With two other workers he topped the trees, limbed and cut into fireplace lengths and stacked the slash for $500. Evergreen may be a little farther than he wants to go but you might ask Tom Wheaton at tnttrees.com.

Actually I did pull the trigger on a 362 for cutting other wood. I've been eyeballing those trees and will likely take a run at them at some point. Right now I've come into enough free wood I need to work through I've got my hands full for a little while.
