Too big for YOU to take out?
From your picture they ought to card you to see if you are old enough to be here.
The secret is to break the job into little pieces. From your post you do not hope to replant it. So get a pair of hand pruning sheers, a pair of lopping sheers and a bow saw. Will cost you about $8, $25. $20. Done right, you cut the small branches with the hand pruners using the bush to hold them. YOU DO NOT WANT TO FORCE THE TOOLS so pruner will cut up to about 1/2 an inch depending on the type of bush-wood type. Bigger branches up to about an inch-depending again on wood type and quality of the tool you bought. For the real big stuff you will use the bow saw. They are available about five foot long. You can take down a good sized tree-WITHOUT A CHAIN SAW.
Today is a good COOL day to do this it is 4:00 you could have this done by dinner.
