I'm at my mother in laws place in Winnipeg and she has a tree in her front yard that needs to be removed. Quotes have ranged from $300-$1200 so I'm thinking of tackling it myself but have no experience with this at all.
It's about 30 feet high and I'm wondering what I would need to consider if doing this myself?
Is it as simple as a ladder and chainsaw, starting from the top and cutting sections off? What else do I need to know before committing to do this, or is this something that should be left to the pros?
