I've been delaying for months/years because I've gotten quotes of $2500, $3250, etc. from some local tree companies. Now I'm told that I should find one of the tree crews who does work for PSE&G or Verizon. They come from South Jersey or PA for weeks/months at a time. They have the equipment and would probably do the job on a Sat for $500. How do I find these guys?   redY67 Citizen Username: Redy67 Post Number: 612 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 3:17 pm:        Try calling the DPW the might be able to get you a lead.   seidperson Citizen Username: Seidperson Post Number: 51 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 5:51 pm:        Todd Lamm cut down trees for us for a reasonable price. He works for Maplewood Township, does work separately, too. Honest guy, and good.   Maplemom Citizen Username: Maplemom Post Number: 141 Registered: 7-2001 Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 6:38 pm:        Call Tree King....we got crazy quotes and they did ours for under 1k. Search the archives for their name (check and so it will get both words). I posted their info about a year or so ago. Just call for a quote...you don't even have to be home if I remember correctly..they did the removal two months later in one morning.
