Here is one example of how dangerous tree work can be.

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- A 29-year-old man fell to his death Wednesday while trying to cut down a tree in Sandy Springs, police said.

Investigators said the man, who was employed by Superior Arbor Management Co. out of Dawsonville, was part of a tree-servicing crew working in the 100 block of Brookview Circle in Sandy Springs.

Authorities said the tree apparently snapped below the victim, who was positioned in the tree some 60 or more feet above the ground.

The victim’s name has not been released pending notification of his family.
This guy was experienced

Without a picture of the tree it's hard to price anything. With that said, if it's a maple, 50' tall with a 4' base, $800 isn't a bad price. If it's out in the opne and can be dropped whole, cheaper, maybe $600 and if there is a small drop zone, wires, extensive landscaping, $900-$1000 would be more like it. Go for it but be safe. I do it as a side job and love to climb but it's not for everyone.

Be safe.

What he said! Sounds like you are way out of your league. With no pictures these is no way to say how much to bid.

Sub it out and add 20% for yourself.
