Climbers (at least around here) are a helluva lot cheaper than bringing out the expensive equipment....but I ain't doin' that...they're skilled and nutz
. Tree quotes are like car salesmen....some are honest...others well....
And city rates verses "country" rates...BIG difference here...YMMV. Honestly...I would always find a good climber/team... if at all possible...maybe that's just here...I dunno???
