If its a fall risk wouldn't it have made sense to have it removed? Or is it super old and you didnt want to do that?
Could always remove some limbs and try to coax it to leaning back a particular way. The house we're moving to has a MASSIVE maple tree and we are going to need to have a branch that is the size of a large maple tree removed so it cant fall on our cars or power lines.
Yeah we had an estimate done probably 6 months ago, and it was pricey. About 4 or 5 months before hurricanes hit us last year we had the two big trees in front cut back & one decent sized one that was between our house & neighbors house (but in our yard) removed (which after the storms we are grateful for doing), it cost us $1,000. Now for one tree they wanted like $2500.
After the hurricane hits we had last year prices for everything went up major! We had to replace fencing, which we still haven’t had a chance to replace one side of fencing because we were able to get it to stay enough to keep pups in our yard and neighbors were selling and moved, so didn’t have to worry about dogs next door. Now we have new neighbors (no pups though), and that fence won’t hold up to any significant winds this time. So fencing, roofing, tree removal, repairs, etc... everything is still pricey here.
The tree that dropped big branches onto our yard & damaged some of our gutters on front of house was from the neighbors tree. Cost us over $400 to replace a few small pieces of gutter. Here the neighbors don’t have to pay for damage if their trees damage your property during a storm.
