Small Tree Job - Salem, NH

Posted by Larry Weil on October 2, 2009, 4:08 pm

I have a tree that is leaning against another tree. I called a tree
service, they came and took a look and agreed it should be removed, but
said it was too small a job and they did not want to be bothered. So,
does anyone know of a tree service in or near Salem, NH that takes
smaller jobs, and at a reasonable price?

Note that I am not a do-it-yourself type when it comes to climbing trees
(or even ladders) and I have no means of removing or even lifting the
remains (small car and bad back), so please don't suggest that I try to
do it myself.

Thanks for your help.
Larry

Check at local construction companies. They have to remove large and
small trees to erect houses or buildings.

If there is any local market for firewood, some of the
suppliers are people who cut the wood themselves,
i.e. have the skills necessary for such work (if no
injury insurance for employees etc.) If your tree
has any value, such a woodcutter might do the work
for nothing. Otherwise, offer him $30 or $40 an hour
to fell and remove this tree. You find such individuals
through people who buy or sell firewood locally.

I had a crab apple tree that I needed removed because it was in a bad
place. I got a large operator to do the small job, by agreeing to wait
until he had other work in the area. His crew stopped and dropped my
tree on their way home from another jobsite. Over the next week or so,
they came back and removed the pieces and ground the stump.

Call around to garden centers or tree nurseries. They will know
someone.
