A lot of those trees look small. Too bad hubby and I aren't near you. We love projects and take out trees and trash trees of this normal chainsaw size and have a blast burning them on the marshmallow roasting for the kids burn piles.He definitely mentioned Saturday. This is like the fifth contractor that was a no show. Does it look like I need tree service?

You know, what is behind those trees, deb? Is that the fence line? Just wondered if you would be looking at someone else's property if you have the trees cut down...would the view be better or worse do you think?Even if I could get some boys to do it, they's probably just cut the branches and leave them - then what an I suppoed to do with them? I need someone that can chip them up or haul them away. Some of these involve large branches.
Oh, understand...from the picture it looked like they were very far away from the house and might offer good privacy.It's not the view that concerns me - it's the danger and damage falling limbs create in a wind storm.
Yes, I see. looks like you at least need to get them trimmed real well...lol.I have two huge maples in the backyard. One is close to the house and the other near the garage. A lot of foliage hanging over into the neighbors yard, too and probably scraping on their roof in the wind. The area in the photo I've outlined in a red box in this aerial view of my property.

Just happened to think...have you tried local handyman services? A lot of those can also do trees.Yes, I see. looks like you at least need to get them trimmed real well...lol.
Have you checked out the handyman services in your area? Some of them you can submit a request and they will give youI lookedthere and tried to sign up. They want too much personal info to even let you get started.
Here's the website for the one called Chris's that was well rated:http://www.bestrochestertreeservice.comIt only found two and neither was very well rated.

I've just about exhausted the businesses around here. There are some I will not deal with and the ones I will seem to be so busy they can't return my calls or emails.
Isn't that where you are? If not, then where are you?These are for the Rochester area.
Hey, I stand corrected... you aren't far from Albany, right? A big vendor of ours is in Albany and I still talk to him. I could ask him if you want me to...he might have a good suggestion. Thinking Albany might be your best bet?Stillwater, NY. There are limited business around here being a small town. I've just run out of options. If I can't get anyone local, who ya gonna call?
Did you look on Yelp, here?:https://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=treeservices&find_loc=Stillwater,+NYAlbany is about 30 miles away. Don't knock yourself out or inconvenience anyone on my behalf. Thanks, though.
I heard back from my friend in Albany this morning. Here's what he said:Did you look on Yelp, here?:https://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=treeservices&find_loc=Stillwater,+NY
Just heard from my friend Bernie in Albany again...he was thinking of you and said this was posted:We had afternoon storms here Saturday and Sunday. A neighbor told me her TV has been out since Saturday. I just had some small twigs come down, knock wood (pun intended). This is what I am trying to avoid - having big branches come down more than I can handle or that damage neighbors properties. Three years aho a HUGE branch fell during a storm.Thankfully it didn't hit my house of the neighbors - it fell right along the property line far enough away from buildings. Took a tree guy several hours to clean it up and her charged me $800. Lets see who I can find on my own. Thanks for your help so far.
