Default Good Lick!

I had a 30 ft. Washingtonian Palm removed last year and had three bids - $1850 - $1400 and $750. One said it had termites...one said it had been struck by lightning.
If OP's trees were black walnut or redwood, a contractor might do it for the board feet, but with all the wood being generated south of 44, I doubt that all that work would be worth $55/face cord.

I am sure you will not get this done for nothing, and the eventual cost will be a few hundred dollars.
