In my opinion you have one option aside from paying. Seek out someone in your area with a portable sawmill that has insurance to fell trees. You damn sure won't find one that will cut them by a house but from what you've described they're are not close to the house. Talk to them and see what your options are before you go spend $ on a feller that's gonna cost you $ to have removed. Someone is gonna make money, try your best not to be the provider and not receive anything but a bill.
