low income. Help? A giant branch has fallen in front of my steps before and luckily it was 5 mins after my friend walked in. Also some of our cable lines passes through the giant tree before reaching my house. Also the tree for some reason over the past 3 years have been increasingly raining sap and huge droplets at that all over my dad's car and front yard. It's horrible, the pine needles are constantly falling down and also slowly destroying the car as well by slowly seeping into cracks and creating gaps in the car's molding (we don't have an indoor garage).

Bottom line, the giant pine tree is hurting our property and almost injured a visitor. Want to cut down tree but has very low income. I heard cutting down the tree (25ft estimate) costs about $2 - $3000. Any helpful information on getting the tree cut down cheap or free would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your problem but you don't say where you're located. I live in northen Michigan and have had to have quite a few trees taken down. The most we have paid was $ 200 and that was a huge oak almost 90 feet tall. I suggest you do some calling around some more. Good luck.

Why not donate the tree for christmas. I am sure it would make a beautiful decoration either in the town square or some public place.

you say the cable lines run through this tree. do the electric lines also run through this tree? if they do call the power company and ask them to send someone out to look at the tree and it may just be that they might take it down to below the level of the power lines for you. the power company here did this for me at house that i used to care take for. i had three trees taken down at a customers house for about $1100 but the cost all depends on how much climbing and roping they have to do which is based on how close to buildings and power lines the tree is. i do not suggest that you attempt to cut this tree down yourself as it sounds as though it is to close to the house and some utility lines. as for the car and the sap get a car cover or a blue plastic tarp to cover the car over and keep the sap off

i cant imagine it would cost that much, it would be cheaper to buy a chainsaw and do it yourself. my guess is, it shouldnt cost no more than 500 dollars, thats with them taking it away too, if it cost more than that, then i think its expensive. im from the UK and i would charge about £250 for that.

if your state has guys that go down the streets and highways cutting trees ask them if they could at the least trim the limbs on the tree for you. or ask if they know any one that could remove the tree for a person on low income.
