I just took out 5 "medium size" Kalifornia pepper trees (filthy bastards), three "large" sycamores (concrete lifting bastards), and trimmed down 25 avocado trees (my babies). It was the stump grinding that ran the bill up. I went with the lowest bidder. Trimming the Avos was $250 each. Removing the medium pepper trees was $500 each, but no need to grind the stumps. The large sycamores were $1,000 each...$750 plus $250 for the stump grinding. I let them dump the chips for avocado mulch or they would have charged $250 to dump it.

I thought it was a rip off until I saw how much work it was.
