Following the family tradition. Our family company is called "careful climbers tree care" We specialize in dangerous and complicated pruning and removal. Our company consists of my father, brother, cousin, and myself.
We normally would have charges $1200 for this removal of a storm damaged tree, but the gentleman was older living on a fixed income and recently had his bladder and prostate removed due to cancer so we did our good deed and worked in Exchange for the wood only.
This is early on a Sunday morning, the day before we where rained out only an hour in.

I'm currently a welder and we all have full time jobs but do this on the side. My cousin is a board certifies master arborists, my brother is a municipal certified arborist, and I am currently working on my climber certification.
In five hours work we had reduced a 65' tall oak and hauled home 5 cords cut and split, and left the yard as though there was never a tree there.
