Story time..
When I was about 17, we had a tree in the yard that was looking pretty bad, and starting to lean near the house. My dad had done a lot of chainsawing in his day, but this was too tricky for him to attempt- it really needed the top cut out of it before the trunk could come down, so as to not risk it falling towards the house. So he calls a local place and the owner says he send someone out the next day- well, my parents had to go to a wedding or a funeral or something that next day, so I stayed home to meet the guy who was coming to cut the tree down.
Truck shows up. Lots of ropes and equipment. Huge chainsaw. Two people get out of the truck- two chicks. About 26-28 years old or so. Sisters, both about 5'11" tall, skinny, athletic, sandy blonde hair, Swedish-looking girls, wearing white tank tops and aviator sunglasses. They say they are here to cut down the tree. I was floored.
Sure enough, the one is like a pro-climber. I watched this girl haul something like an 16" Stihl 30 feet straight up this tree, while the other one spotted her. They had this thing down in no time. I invited them for lemonade. It was 95 degrees outside, and they were hot. Those white tank tops were borderline transparent, and I was losing it.
Gave them some cash and they took off; I had no game there. Man I wish...
Anyways...
Relevant to OP- I think we paid $350. They just fell it, no cleanup.
