[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 298275, member: 2459"] *sigh* That's what I am afraid of. Another concern is that my back yard, while deep for in town, is not very wide. We have a small cottage style house with a detached garage that sets back from the front of the house but is pretty much lined up edge to edge with the house. (Right side of the house is approximately along the same line as the left side of the garage) The yard is only the width of the house and the garage. We have fencing all around as well as a shed, grape arbor and the pine tree so there really isn't any good open areas to drop the tree or large limbs. Either way we go is going to be quite the PITA. husband once suggested that we do it ourselves and once I gave him the LOOK....I just laughed hysterically. There is absolutely no way we could do it and I'm sure there would be major blood loss, broken bones or possible amputations involved. Besides, the only person in our house who is agile and skinny enough to shimmy up the tree is difficult child and there is no way in HADES I'm turning that boy loose with a chain saw! I've got a guy from our Extension Office stopping by later to look at it. He's also going to get me some information on arborists in the area. We don't have any in our county but he said there are some up your way WMM. (Ugh. We don't really have much of anything here. Drives me nuts!) I'm hoping we can keep the tree and find someone to trim it at a reasonable price. It's a big ol' tree and I really don't want to lose it. [/QUOTE]
