We usually get 3 or 4 quotes to do the job and we've had much higher quotes.

Otherwise, I also agree, that they are beautiful trees.

What you are saying is really a shame.
The real problem is that you or a previous owner
planted the tree too close to the houses.

Live oaks have a spread of 50 feet at maturity.
