I was quoted $400 to install my oven, cooktop, and dishwasher (4 hours
of work).
Then, I was quoted $400 to prune my tree in the front yard which
includes hauling away like that matters. I already pay the city in my
monthly bill to haul prunings. Since, I have three trees, it's $1000 or
more not $400. But, they don't do backyard trees. IOW, I must buy a
small gas chain saw anyway.
I have two electric chainsaws but you don't want cords up there. So, a
small gas chain saw and a ladder, and up I go on the street side where
if it drops I won't hurt anything. I will get help on the house side
cause I'm going to need a rope.

For under $400 you could have a decent pole pruner and do it from the
ground. I can tell you from experience that; you need to wach out for
falling limbs, but you get used to it.

Even the manual pole pruner works great. I had quite a number of trees
in my back yard that needed constant pruning after 35 years. I could
keep them well under control with it. Constant source of fire wood over
the years.

I will get a few guys working on it.
Once the tree is under control, I will manually prune it.
I think you have the most control over a manual saw.

The last time I chimed in on this subject I suggested that a pole
pruner can be supported by a harness as used for flagpoles in a parade
march. Someone loved the idea.
