You’re right, you have to strike the balance between when doing it yourself is simply not cost effective when you consider your time.

More than that, sometimes doing it yourself costs you more because there are just people who know how to do things quicker and cheaper because it’s their specialty.

Wow – they look like nice trees. Too bad you don’t know someone who would want them. They could pay to have them dug up and transplanted. It probably wouldn’t be a quick job, though. Well, good luck!

I had three trees chopped down in the front of my house for $600. Since you have a big open area I see from the video for the trees to fall. I would say the price should be comparible.

We kept all of our wood from the backyard tress for summer fire pits. We cut those down ourself. The front trees, the guy took along to sell the wood.
