Help Wanted Need a tree cut down in Homer Glen

[OffshoreDrilling]

Yo

I’ve got a 50-60’ tall dead oak tree that’s about 50% de-limbed already. Looking for someone to take it all the way down or a recommendation:

Hit a brother up.

Sometimes its just easier to pay someone to do things, happens to us all.

I pay someone, almost every time. This guy did his own solar panel install, I figured a tree would be small potatoes!

got a quote for a fence today too

 

[Jimbo]

However, I'm going to guess that utilizing profits from the side biz are paying for this, and this is exactly what you were hoping to do.

280’ of fence. Not a weekend warrior job. It took me 4 months to put up trim in my daughters room

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I’ve got a bunch of brush and smaller trees to clear too. 100’ long by 20-30’ deep section of woods. Renting the fuck out of a skid steer with a grinder thing on the front of it.

 

[Jimbo]

More power to ya, time with the fam > fucking with this bullshit.

Except for the skid steer with a grinder, that sounds like fun.

Wife was on board with the murder skid steer. Theres a place half a mile down the road with a rental for $495/day

Homer Tree Service does great work and they have the big equipment to cut down large trees. They’re not cheap though from what I remember.

I forgot you moved to Homer. I moved a tad further south to Manhattan a couple years ago. Not many members down here in the sticks

They are a customer of mine. When Todd comes out, or you talk to him. Tell him Tim from Alexander recommended them.

BI rental? Love that place

One quote so far. $900 from Homer. Seems about right.

I’ve got 2 other guys coming and maybe two tire kicker handymen type guys from FB.

If you want another fence quote I've got a guy. He's local to me but I can see if he'll go to Homer Glen

Hahaha how much was your fence qoute? I got one 3 years ago (during covid) and it was like 18k... I was like WTF..

Jennifer and I use Davey Tree. They cut down one of those huge trees in my yard that probably would have fallen in the river had someone less experienced taken it down. Also, a few large trees on her property that were in danger of falling on a house. Sometimes it's easier to pay someone who has the right equipment/skills. I've had projects that I could have easily done myself, but sometimes paying someone $300-$600 for something that would take you a few weeks in your spare time is worth it. My issue is removing the tree debris is time-consuming. I wish I had a log splitter and chipper.

You can also save money by just paying someone to take the tree down and not remove anything.

Yeah, I was looking to do the back fence to a 6 foot privacy after the neighbors dog behind us attacked our dog through the fence, and the price was fucking insane for a 70 foot section of fence. Ended up putting a screen across the chain link and now were good because the dogs cant see each other anymore.

Had one last guy show up on Saturday to quote it. Told me it wasn’t worth the time without giving me a ridiculous price because his shop is too far. Then basically called me a pussy for not doing it myself.

Then why even come out to quote it? Sounds like he just wanted to be an ass.

I use Family Tree. I think they're now in Warrenville, they literally used to be a couple blocks down the street from the other house... but their map says they service all Chicagoland.

They are by far cheaper than anyone else. I had Kramer Tree come out to quote trees to be removed. They were like $2,500 - $3k. Family came out, $1,300, including stump grinding. Since you may remember the yard when you were there last summer, this is one of the last ones they took down... A very tall pine.
