My mom has seven pine trees in her yard that she wants gone, problem is she doesn't have the money and neither do I. Do you think a pulpwood company would come in and take them without charging her? One of them is a monster and the other are roughly 30-50 feet tall.

Only if they are 300 year old "old growth long leaf" with no knots. 100 rings to the inch type grain. If you calculate the retail board foot price of those trees it's not as much as you think. Or, high end wood worker had a special order for some wide boards that had really attractive grains.

LOl,,, sorry but gonna run you about $700 or so per. I feel your pain though, ain't like it used to be.

Rule breaker, I'm in the same situation. Who will take them down for $700 each? I would gladly pay that.

A lot of locals here around rural NW AL

Ill do them for 500 a tree just ain't gonna garauntee where they fall.

We had some timber cut several years ago that we used to own. My uncle lived next door to the property and told the guy he had half a dozen or so trees the guy could have if he would just cut them. He literally had to talk the guy into it and the guy had all his equipment sitting within 100' of the trees. This was out in the country too so it wasn't like it would be a big chore getting to them or that there was a risk of them hitting anything when they fell.

See if you can find someone with a Wood Mizer mill.

Thanks folks

A friend in Pell City had a guy tell him $1300 a piece to take down some oaks.

I guess it pays to have friends in the business. I pay $125 per tree with stump removal.

I've taken down a dozen big pines and half dozen hardwoods in the last year by myself. Ain't that hard. Hard part is cutting em up and removing them.
