Hi, have some pine / fir type trees on my drive, want to reduce them / cut them down,
quite tall - around 20 foot, thick branches in places,
not planning on even thinking about a chainsaw, do these Bow Saws work okay so i can do it myself,
will of course check for any nesting birds within.
Just had a quote from a tree cutting person, and they wanted £650 to cut down 2, re shape and reduce the other. That was with taking everything away, just seems a hell of a lot of money to cut some trees down, i know this will not be a 5 minute job of course, but me cutting them with something suitable and maybe even hiring a van to take to the tip, would be a lot cheaper
anyone have any tips on the best equipment to use, ie saw's, for thick branches / trunk - i would say thickest part will be 18inch
